Case in brief
Two cases of iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms were successfully treated using the Perclose ProStyle closure device. The first case involved an 86-year-old man with a pseudoaneurysm of the superficial femoral artery following intra-aortic balloon pump therapy, while the second case involved an 82-year-old man with a common femoral artery pseudoaneurysm after percutaneous thrombectomy. Both cases utilized different techniques tailored to the specific characteristics of the pseudoaneurysms.
Diagnostic / clinical pearl
Suture-mediated closure devices can effectively manage iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms, offering a minimally invasive alternative to traditional treatments.
Why it matters
The adaptability of closure techniques based on pseudoaneurysm size and location may enhance the clinical applicability of suture-mediated devices in vascular surgery.
