Introduction: This study aims to evaluate safety and efficacy of endovascular embolizations in a series of patients presenting with arterial vascular injuries of the lower limbs following orthopaedic interventions.Materials and methods: Ten patients have been retrospectively enrolled having pulsatile mass, painful lower limb and anemia (hemoglobin <7g/dl).Result: Vascular lesions were pseudoaneurysm, bleeding with extraluminal contrast agent blush of the terminal arterial segment, laceration and bleeding with extraluminal contrast agent blush of the arterial main trunk. The clinical and procedural technical success was achieved in all cases.
Conclusion:Endovascular embolizations have prooven to be a safe and effective approach to treat arterial vascular lesions occurring after different orthopaedics intervention of the lower limb.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
