Iatrogenic Pseudoaneurysm of Femoral Artery: Literature Review by Harshavardhan Balaganesan
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Femoral artery Pseudoaneurysm (FAP) is one of the most troublesome complications after various invasive radiological procedures related to the femoral arterial access site. Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms (IPA) form when an arterial puncture site fails to seal, allowing arterial blood to ooze into the surrounding tissues and form a pulsatile hematoma. This occurs in 0.8% to 2.2% after interventional procedures. This problem has become more significant due to the exponential growth of interventional radiology. The imaging of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm, indications, advantages & disadvantages of various treatment modalities are discussed in this review of literature.

The case of a patient who developed a femoral artery pseudoaneurysm (FAP) following cardiac catheterization is described. It is one of the most troublesome complications after various invasive cardiovascular procedures related to the femoral arterial access site. Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms (IPA) form when an arterial puncture site fails to seal, allowing arterial blood to ooze into the surround...
متن کاملIatrogenic Superficial External Pudendal Artery Pseudoaneurysm: Treatment with Doppler US-Guided Compression
Pseudoaneurysms rarely occur as a serious complication following incomplete hemostasis of an arterial puncture site. As a result of the increase in diagnostic and therapeutic angiography, the frequency of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm has increased as well. Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms associated with angiographic catheterization occur most commonly in the common femoral artery. Here we report a case...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided thrombin injection for the treatment of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm of the femoral artery.
BACKGROUND Pseudoaneurysm occurring after catheterization of the femoral artery is associated with significant morbidity. Percutaneous ultrasound-guided thrombin injection has recently emerged as a potential first-line therapy. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of this treatment in eight patients with iatrogenic femoral artery pseudoaneurysm. METHODS After attempted treatment with externa...
متن کاملUltrasound guided percutaneous thrombin injection for the treatment of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms
Iatrogenic aneurysms are usually postcatheterisation pseudoaneurysms of the femoral artery. Until recently, the treatment of choice was ultrasound guided compression repair. A case of pseudoaneurysm of the axillary artery, arising as a complication of pacemaker insertion in an 83 year old man is reported. Compression repair was not possible in this case, and so the aneurysm was occluded by perc...
