The Endovascular Management of an Iatrogenic Superior Gluteal Artery Rupture Following Bone Marrow Biopsy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We herein report an uncommon case of a life-threatening retroperitoneal hematoma after a bone marrow biopsy. Two hours after iliac crest bone harvesting, the patient experienced syncope and severe hypotension. Urgent contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated extravasation from the superior gluteal artery. Transcatheter coil embolization was performed successfully, without complications. Life-threatening complications caused by retroperitoneal bleeding after bone marrow biopsy are very rare. There are few reports on the use of endovascular treatment in the management of life-threatening hemorrhagic complications after bone marrow biopsy.

Endovascular management of posttraumatic and iatrogenic large pelvic pseudoaneurysms following biopsy: case report
Pelvic traumatic and iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms supplied by the internal iliac artery are very rare but can present with pain, nerve compression, and rupture. Particularly with more chronic pseudoaneurysms, their imaging appearance can be confusing and they can be mistaken for tumors. We present two cases of pelvic pseudoaneurysms supplied by the superior gluteal artery that were initially mist...

Internal iliac artery (IIA) aneurysms, while rare, carry a significant risk of mortality if they rupture. Endovascular intervention is now the preferred method of treatment for IIAs; however, due to technical considerations, this is not always feasible. We report a case of a patient who developed an enlarging IIA aneurysm in association with a type 2 endoleak supplied by multiple feeding arteri...

The bone marrow procedure (BMP) is a frequently performed procedure, with over 700,000 recorded in the U.S. annually. It is a fundamental component in the evaluation and management of both malignant and benign hematologic conditions. Adult patients are generally assured that the BMP is a safe procedure with minimal risk, albeit briefly painful. Traditionally performed using a manual Jamshidi ne...

Bleeding is a major complication of revision total hip replacement. We report a case where the inflated balloon of a urinary catheter was used to temporarily control intrapelvic bleeding from the superior gluteal artery, while definitive measures for endovascular embolisation were made.
