Life-Threatening Rupture of a False Aneurysm after Femoral Arterial Catheterization: Unexpected Delay after a Common Procedure
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the case of a 79-year-old patient who presented with a femoral iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm of delayed and unusual onset with immediately life-threatening massive bleeding. Ultrasound is the method of choice for the diagnosis of pseudo aneurysm. If there is not spontaneous closure, ultrasound-guided compression repair, minimally invasive percutaneous treatments, and surgical repair are the three therapeutic options.

False Aneurysm of the Common Femoral Artery in an Infant after a Phlebotomy
False Aneurysms are uncommon in the pediatric population. We report a case of false aneurysm of the common femoral artery (CFA) after accidental arterial puncture, during a phlebotomy for blood sample. The lesion was surgically resected and arterial continuity restored by end to end anastomosis. The postoperative course was uneventful.
متن کاملLife-threatening Rupture of a Femoral Pseudoaneurysm after Cardiac Catheterization
A pseudoaneurysm refers to a defect in the arterial wall, allowing communication of arterial blood with the adjacent extra-luminal space. Pseudoaneurysms result from traumatic arterial injury. With the increasing utilization of percutaneous arterial interventions, iatrogenic arterial injury has become the predominant cause of pseudoaneurysm formation. Rupture of the pseudoaneurysm comprises a v...

Pulmonary vascular injury is a rare but life-threatening complication of Swan-Ganz catheterization. We report an 82-year old patient who underwent right heart catheterization by a balloon-tipped catheter because of suspected pulmonary hypertension. After deflation of the catheter in the wedge position, hemoptoe appeared associated with acute respiratory insufficiency requiring respiratory suppo...
متن کاملStaged approach for surgical management of a true femoral artery aneurysm combined with bilateral iliac artery aneurysms
True femoral artery aneurysm is a rare vascular entity and is often associated with aortic or peripheral aneurysms. Life-threatening complications associated with peripheral arterial aneurysms include rupture, thrombosis, and embolization. In patients with multiple aneurysms, any symptomatic aneurysms should be treated first; in asymptomatic patients, the aneurysms can be repaired either simult...

A65-year-old woman was referred to the vascular laboratory after coronary angiography and stent insertion via an 8F right femoral artery sheath. The patient received ticlopidine 500 mg after the procedure. A large pulsatile mass with a diffuse hematoma developed several hours after removal of the sheath from the groin, and a 4.2-cm false aneurysm arising from the common femoral artery was confi...
