Abstract
Surgeons must retain pseudoaneurysm as a prominent differential for a patient presenting with a progressively enlarging, expansile mass of an extremity after penetrating trauma to ensure urgent investigation and prompt vascular intervention. Both open surgical ablation and endovascular embolization of pseudoaneurysms of the extremities are effective techniques with low rates of complications and morbidity reported in published literature.
