We describe a rare case of an exceptionally large pseudoaneurysm that developed in the right common femoral artery 6 months after an electrophysiological study. Surgical and other conventional methods to treat his pseudoaneurysm were not feasible. Therefore, the pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated via an endovascular approach with a covered stent.
