Title: Superior gluteal artery pseudoaneurysm: two cases report and review of the literature

Abstract

Gluteal mass is not a frequent finding in the daily practice of a vascular surgeon, however when we talk about arterial pathology it can manifest at any level in the cardiovascular system. 

Gluteal artery pseudoaneurysms are a very rare but life-threatening pathology. Most of these pseudoaneurysms are the result of direct trauma or infection at the artery wall.

Two cases of gluteal artery pseudoaneurysm are presented. Usually the presentatios are insidious, so having a high level of suspicious allows a fast diagnosis and treatment. The rapid diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent neurological sequelae, for this reason the involvement of a multidisciplinary team is a very important issue.

On the other hand, a minimally invasive technique with an endovascular approach is crucial to solve this rare but life-threateninig condition.
