Abstract
We report a case of external iliac artery aneurysm rupture during removal of the acetabular component for septic loosening. Potentially fatal hemorrhage would have occurred if the risk had not been recognized, and the external iliac vessels exposed to gain vascular control before proceeding with implant removal. A review of the literature on vascular injury at revision hip surgery is presented.
