ABSTRACT
Pseudoaneurysm can occur as the result of penetrating trauma, infection and as the sequelae of radiologic intervention. Acupuncture is widely used in oriental countries such as China, Japan and Korea. In western countries acupuncture therapy is used to treat musculoskeletal symptoms such as sprain or strain. Some complications have been reported after acupuncture therapy. Vascular trauma after orthopedic surgery is relatively rare, but it is a significant complicaiton that increases the morbidity and mortality. We had experienced two different cases of pseudoaneurysms that occurred after acupuncture and orthopedic surgery respectively and the patients were treated successfully with interventional and surgical procedures.
