Korean J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2015 Aug;48(4):302-5. doi: 10.5090/kjtcs.2015.48.4.302. Epub 2015 Aug 5.

Abstract

Pseudoaneurysm with arteriovenous fistula is a rare complication of arthroscopy, and can be diagnosed by ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or angiography. This condition can be treated with open surgical repair or endovascular repair. We report our experience with the open surgical repair of a pseudoaneurysm with an arteriovenous fistula in a young male patient who underwent arthroscopy five months previously.
