Abstract

We present a case of superficial femoral artery laceration that was identified on computed tomographic angiography. The patient was a 25-year-old man who injured his right proximal thigh while using a wood sanding machine and was transferred to our emergency department in a state of hemorrhagic shock. Following resuscitation, preoperative computed tomographic angiography helped predict the arterial injury and aided us in prompt diagnosis and decisive management. Keywords: Superficial femoral arterial injury, Arterial laceration, Computed tomographic angiography
