The common femoral artery is often used as a preferred puncture site in various procedures with an incidence of severe complications of less than 0.5%. Various complications of femoral artery puncture have been documented lately due to the exponential growth of interventional cardiology. Femoral artery puncture causing a pseudoaneurysm, communicating arteriovenous fistula and associated venous thrombosis has rarely been reported in literature.
