A hybrid approach for vascular control and repair of an expanding iatrogenic femoral artery pseudoaneurysm

Surgical repair of iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms in the setting of distorted anatomy, multiple prior interventions, and ongoing hemorrhage requires extensive proximal and distal dissection for control. Furthermore, profunda femoral and other arterial branch control may not always be feasible an...

Description
Summary:Surgical repair of iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms in the setting of distorted anatomy, multiple prior interventions, and ongoing hemorrhage requires extensive proximal and distal dissection for control. Furthermore, profunda femoral and other arterial branch control may not always be feasible and can lead to considerable blood loss at the time of surgical exploration. We present a simple, safe, and effective hybrid approach for inflow, outflow, and branch control for treatment of a proximally located, actively expanding, iatrogenic common femoral artery pseudoaneurysm recalcitrant to multiple sessions of percutaneous thrombin injection.
