Durability of the Viabahn stent graft after axillary artery pseudoaneurysm exclusion

چکیده
Pseudoaneurysm formation caused by iatrogenic arterial injury during a regional anesthetic block is a rare complication. We report a case of a 56-year-old male patient who developed an axillary artery pseudoaneurysm caused by brachial plexus block performed for an upper extremity dialysis access operation. Successful repair of this pseudoaneurysm was achieved with endovascular stent graft exclusion. The repaired axillary artery with the stent graft remained patent after 10 years of follow-up. The successful long-term patency of this treatment and a strategy to potentially avoid this complication are discussed.

Hybrid stent-graft repair of an iatrogenic complex proximal right common carotid artery injury.
BACKGROUND Iatrogenic carotid trauma requires early diagnosis and adequate treatment. Classic open repair may be technically challenging if trauma is in base of the neck. We present a case of an iatrogenic carotid pseudoaneurysm treated with endovascular repair. METHODS An 87-year-old woman presented with a pulsatile neck mass 10 days after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. A computed tom...

Today there is a widespread use of endovascular treatment (EVT) for traumatic vascular injuries in adults, but there is lack of evidence of its use in adolescent patients with vascular injuries. With this case, we present successful EVT of 14-year-old adolescent with a right subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm (SAP) due to war injury. SAP was successfully excluded with deployment of 6 × 50 mm flex...
