 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 11 On infection of injecting drug-induced femoral artery pseudoaneurysm in 35 cases of vascular repair experience Author: Zhong-wu Yan-zheng Long Han Wang Yong-an Yang Hui Zeng [Paper Keywords:] femoral artery pseudoaneurysm; artificial blood vessel; repair and reconstruction [Abstract] Objective: To investigate the infection of injecting drug-induced femoral artery pseudoaneurysm characteristics and blood vessel repair and reconstruction methods. Methods: A retrospective review in January 2000 ~ December 2006 35 cases of infection due to injecting drug-induced femoral artery pseudoaneurysm with vascular reconstruction in the treatment through. Incision above the inguinal ligament used by retroperitoneal control of the iliac arteries, and distal aneurysm of superficial femoral artery exposure and control, removal of aneurysms, are using artificial vascular remodeling. Results: 20 patients by means of normal anatomy for revascularization, of which 15 cases of poor wound healing, 11 patients at 3 months after graft infection after 1 year, 10 cases of artificial blood vessel occlusion; 15 patients ways to make extra-anatomic vascular reconstruction, of which five cases of poor wound healing, 6 cases in 3 months after graft infection after 1 year, 5 cases of artificial vascular occlusion. Conclusion: The means of extra-anatomic vascular reconstruction to treat infections caused by injecting drug users femoral artery pseudoaneurysm in a better way. Very popular in the world in recent years, intravenous drug abuse, mostly young people. In China, especially Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and spread of the junction. Most drug addicts are easy to find location of superficial femoral vein puncture injections, in the drug attack often strayed into the femoral artery, followed by compression bandage is no longer the formation of pseudoaneurysm [1-3]. As the injection fluid and injection sterilization is not strict, causing infecti
