Percutaneous suture technique with ProGlide to manage vascular access pseudoaneurysm after percutaneous coronary intervention procedure: A case report

Area reduction of perforation with a small-size sheath technique for iatrogenic femoral artery pseudoaneurysm with a large perforation

Open surgery for femoral artery pseudoaneurysms is invasive, and complications can be detrimental. Several cases of treatment of iatrogenic femoral artery pseudoaneurysms using percutaneous suture-mediated closure devices have been reported. However, it is difficult to properly deploy the foot of the device to the arterial wall when the perforation area is large. We developed a technique using a double guidewire to partially occupy the perforation with a small-size sheath, which reduces the area of the perforation. This AREPAS (area reduction of perforation with a small-sized sheath) technique might allow for minimally invasive closure of perforations even in patients with large perforation areas.

Case report: Successful and effective percutaneous closure of a deep femoral artery pseudoaneurysm using proglide device

A 61-year-old man developed severe swelling in the left lower extremity after interventional embolization of liver tumor. Ultrasound examination showed a pseudoaneurysm and thrombosis in the upper thigh on the left. To recognize the causes and determine the effective therapy, lower extremity arteriography was performed. The results revealed a pseudoaneurysm arised from deep femoral artery. Considering of the size of cavity and symptoms of patient, a new method was tried instead of traditional treatment using PROGLIDE device. Postoperative angiography showed a powerful blocking effect. This case study provide us a specific treatment for pseudoaneurysm, and this method provide us a new therapeutic strategy in clinical practice.

Ultrasonography-guided endovascular management of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm after unintended dialysis catheterization with suture-mediated vascular closure devices

Although iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm is an infrequent complication, it can be life threatening if ruptured. There are several treatment methods for managing this complication. This case report demonstrates a technique using ultrasonography-guided suture-mediated vascular closure devices without angiography to successfully treat iatrogenic superficial femoral pseudoaneurysm following an unintended hemodialysis catheter insertion. In particular, when it is difficult to use a contrast due to a patient's condition as in this case, suture-mediated vascular closure device with ultrasonography guidance can be used as a therapeutic method.

Iatrogenic femoral artery pseudoaneurysm surgically repaired with combined bovine pericardial roll and autologous great saphenous vein grafts

Iatrogenic femoral artery pseudoaneurysm caused by invasive procedures is one of the common complications for endovascular interventions. We present a case of a young male with a complex iatrogenic femoral artery pseudoaneurysm as a result of iatrogenic femoral artery puncture. The defective femoral artery was repaired with combined bovine pericardial tube and autologous great saphenous vein grafts. Computed tomography angiography showed the grafts were still patent one year after the surgery.
