Published: December 2002

Arterial complications following Total Knee Replacement are uncommon. We present a case of false aneurysm of the superior lateral geniculate artery presenting in the immediate postoperative period with continued bleeding from the surgical wound. This is the first case of false aneurysm of this vessel described following Total Knee Replacement. A method of treatment is outlined. Early consultation with vascular surgery colleagues is recommended to prevent delayed diagnosis of serious vascular complications.

Rationale: Pseudoaneurysm is a potential postoperative complication in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, with catheter-based interventions being the first-line treatment. This study reviews the literature on potential secondary complications following arterial embolization.
