-Most commonly results from puncture of femoral artery. So mostly iatrogenic in etiology. Can also develope at suture sites following vascular surgery.
-The arterial wall defect results in a pulsatile jet into adjacent tissue.
-The aneurysmal mass seen on the patient consists of a perivascular hematoma that comunicates with the vessel.
-We can induce therapeutic thrombosis in some cases by compressing the region under CDS monitoring. The rate of spontaneous pseudoaneurysm thrombosis is only about 30-58%.
-CDS will show a to and fro pulsed doppler wave form (uniform bidirectional flow at the neck) as seen in the US image above above.
-Main complication is nerve compression.
