Surgical therapy of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm after angiography

摘要: Seventy patients requiring surgical treatment for femoral artery pseudoaneurysm after angiographic procedures have been presented. The 10 year study period encompassed 38,822 catheter (31,951 cardiology and 6,871 radiology procedures) performed through the artery. Presenting complaints included pain (51 percent) neuropathy (19 percent). Additional morbidity has discussed. present differs from previous ones in that many of had formation common without a history smoking, diabetes, or hypertension. There was no demonstrable association with anticoagulation antiplatelet therapy. incidence did increase use sheath 0.06 to 0.3 percent (p less than 0.005). This not reported previously. Direct arterial repair utilized 63 patients, whereas reconstruction required 7 (saphenous vein graft 4 prosthetic 3). one wound complication but mortality associated repair. Acceptable reasons pseudoaneurysms are persisting enlarging pseudoaneurysms, neuropathy, rupture pseudoaneurysms.
