Vaginal artery pseudoaneurysm after a hysterectomy: A case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Key clinical message This was the first report of a pseudoaneurysm in a vaginal artery after hysterectomy, unlike other published studies that were of pseudoaneurysms in uterine or vaginal arteries after delivery. Abstract A 51‐year‐old woman presented with massive vaginal bleeding 7 days after a hysterectomy, which caused hemoglobin to drop. The patient was suspicious of having a vaginal artery pseudoaneurysm according to the sonography. Her bleeding was stopped after the ligation of her left internal iliac artery.
