ABSTRACT
Infection of the both native and prosthetic vessels in the groin is a very serious disease because of recurrent arterial rupture and sepsis, and both these complications can cause death. The successful treatment of groin infection, including infection of the femoral artery, requires extensive excision of the infected tissues and restoration of the circulation. We experienced a case of obturator bypass in a patient with an infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm and accompanying sepsis, and this occurred after performing a transfemoral angiogram in an A-V fistula of the carotid artery, and the patient also displayed intracranial hemorrhage.
