Pseudoaneurisma de la arteria geniculada inferior medial tras reparación del ligamento del cruzado anterior.
2014
We report the case of a 24 year old male with a chronic rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in
his left knee. We performed an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with four fascicles using the hamstrings
tendon. In the immediate postoperative period, he presented a hematoma in the area of extraction plasty. Initially
it was attributed to muscle bleeding and physical therapy (rest, ice and bandage) was prescribed. It reappeared
few days later so it was decided to discontinue treatment with LMWH. Despite initial improvement, the haematoma
reappeared so an angioCT Scan was performed showing medial inferior genicular artery pseudoaneurysm.
The patient underwent a surgery for surgical wound exploration and ligation of the affected vessel. The patient
improved and started the rehabilitation program as usual. Given the rarity of this disease and its pathogenesis
literature is reviewed.
