Vascular intrapelvic complications due to total hip arthroplasty failure are uncommon, with less than 30 cases reported in the literature. Herein, we report a case of unusual asymptomatic delayed vascular complication after 10 years from right total hip arthroplasty. A man in mid-50s, with multiple comorbidities including end-stage renal disease. The patient was admitted for the renal transplant surgery. Intraoperatively, right external iliac artery pseudoaneurysm was discovered, which required the transplantation to be done on the left side. After recovery from the renal transplant surgery, the patient underwent resection of the right external iliac artery pseudoaneurysm with primary anastomosis by vascular surgery, with resection of the migrated screw by orthopaedic surgery.

The incidence of pseudo aneurysm after total hip arthroplasty is extremely rare. The most common mechanism of vascular injury is due to direct trauma during the operative procedure, and the most reported cases are acute in presentation. We reported an unusual case of ruptured pseudo aneurysm and control of life-threatening intra-operative hemorrhage of the external iliac artery in a male patient, 68 years old, with displaced total hip arthroplasty (THA), planned for removal, occurring 2 years after the last hip surgery, in Armed Forces hospital, Southern region, Saudi Arabia. This case highlights the importance of prompt recognition of life-threatening intra-operative hemorrhage to save the patient's life and the limb.
