Pseudoaneurysm formation as a complication of routine blood collection was diagnosed in a monkey. Damage to the femoral artery resulted in hematoma formation with secondary organization, encapsulation, and vascular communication. Progressive lameness and muscular atrophy were the primary clinical signs. Surgical correction of the artery defect helped resolve the monkey's lameness and muscle atrophy.
