Management for iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms by embolisation of the aneurysmal neck from the contralateral femoral artery: A report of five cases

Description
Summary:Femoral pseudoaneurysms are typically associated with femoral arterial catheterisation. Treating iatrogenic morbidity requires curing the disease, without causing any additional complications. Occlusion of the aneurysmal neck is ideal to seal post-catheterised pseudoaneurysms along with maintaining the femoral arterial flow. However, few reports have suggested neck embolisation for post-catheterised pseudoaneurysms. We describe five cases of iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms in patients successfully treated with embolisation through the aneurysmal neck. This technique may be an alternative therapeutic option in managing femoral pseudoaneurysms.
