We observed a case of iatrogenic rupture of the profunda femoris artery after the internal fixation of a femoral shaft fracture. The pseudoaneurysm, presenting with painful expansile swelling and hemodynamic instability, together with the rupture was evident on femoral angiography. Endovascular stent graft placement was performed successfully, and there was no sign or symptom at 9 months’ follow-up. https://rhythm.tums.ac.ir/index.php/jthc/article/view/162 https://rhythm.tums.ac.ir/index.php/jthc/article/download/162/160
