case_images: The patient was brought by emergency medical services (EMS) 40 minutes after the event (Figure 1).
case_images: Axial CT angiogram. The image shows air in the muscle (small arrow) and active extravasation of contrast (large arrow).

case_images: FIG2
case_images: He was taken expediently for computed tomography (CT) angiogram of the lower extremity which showed active bleeding from a posterior peripheral branch arising from the deep femoral artery in the posterolateral thigh (posterior branch of the profunda femoris) (Figures 2, 3).
case_images: Sagittal CT angiogram. The angiogram shows extravasation of contrast (arrow).
