Fig Computed tomography angiogram performed after left total hip replacement. A, Axial image demonstrates extravasation of contrast from the first lateral branch (black arrow) of the profunda femoris artery (PFA; white arrow). The superficial femoral artery (arrowhead) is separate from the extravasation. The left hip prosthesis is also shown (black star). B, Reconstructed 3-dimensional (3D) rendering from axial images demonstrates the extent of the pseudoaneurysm (arrow) arising from the avulsed first lateral branch of the left profunda overlying the superficial femoral artery (arrowhead). C, Lateral view of reconstructed 3D rendering delineates the pseudoaneurysm (arrow) from the left PFA (arrowhead).
