Endovascular Stent-Graft Treatment of a Traumatic Vertebral Artery Pseudoaneurysm and Vertebrojugular Fistula
نویسندگان
چکیده
An endovascular intervention is a feasible alternative to the technically challenging conventional surgery for the treatment of traumatic vertebral arterial lesions. This report describes a rare case involving a 22-year-old patient with a traumatic vertebral arterial pseudoaneurysm and multiple arteriovenous fistulas which were successfully sealed using the endovascular stent-graft technique.

Pseudoaneurysms are common vascular abnormalities due to disruption of the vessel wall. Pseudoaneurysm with arteriovenous fistula is a rare presentation. Complications associated with them develop unpredictably and carry a high mortality rate. Traditionally pseudoaneurysms have been treated surgically. However, with the advent of new interventional techniques, management using endovascular appr...
متن کاملStent-Graft Treatment of Iatrogenic Vertebral Artery Pseudoaneurysm and Arteriovenous Fistula
Very rare incidence of vertebral artery pseudoaneurysm as a complication caused by central venous catheterization has been reported. The treatment strategy is dependent on location, anatomic structure and coexisting vascular injuries. The Stent-graft placement was performed in a 69-year-old woman who underwent Hemo-Cath® insertion for emergent hemodialysis complicated with right vertebral arter...
