ABSTRACT
We report a case of false aneurysm of the external iliac artery and compression of the external iliac vein, which subsequently caused deep venous thrombosis in a 63-year-old female patient with a revised total hip arthroplasty. This is the first case of control of life-threatening intraoperative haemorrhage of an external iliac pseudo-aneurysm by Sengstaken tube which allowed time for successful management of the external iliac artery pseudo-aneurysm with endovascular covered stent. Recognition of delayed vascular injury following revision of total hip arthroplasty and the need of pre-operative imaging should be considered in revision hip arthroplasty.
