Tel: +90 505 494 08 28 e-mail: drsuleyman1@hotmail.com Invasive cardiac interventions have an important role in development of lower extremity arterial pseudoaneurysms. A 27-year-old male patient presented with the complaint of difficulty in walking following the discharge from the hospital after a successful emergent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and stent implantation for acute myocardial infarction in a cardiology clinic.
