Abstract
Gross hemorrhage is the most serious complication of anticoagulant the rapy, We report the discovery and treatment of a large pseudoaneurysm of the superior gluteal artery in one patient who had been receiving o ral anticoagulant therapy, We diagnosed the pseudoaneurysm by contrast -enhanced computed tomography, and embolized the artery with stainless steel coils. The exact cause of the pseudoaneurysm remains unclear, h owever, minor trauma appears most likely.
