Pseudoaneurisma de artéria genicular após cirurgia artroscópica de joelho: Relato de dois casos
Arthroscopy of the knee is a very safe surgical procedure, with relatively few complications. Here we present the cases of two patients submitted to arthroscopic surgery for partial meniscectomy and reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with femoral transverse screw and tibial interferenc...

| Sumario: | Arthroscopy of the knee is a very safe surgical procedure, with relatively few complications. Here we present the cases of two patients submitted to arthroscopic surgery for partial meniscectomy and reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with femoral transverse screw and tibial interference screw that developed a superior lateral genicular artery pseudoaneurysm. Doppler ultrasonography was performed for diagnostic purposes and the patients were treated by direct arterial suture. One patient developed a large haematoma requiring volemic replacement. These cases illustrate a rare, and not always benign vascular complication, in a minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery. |
