A Case of Femoral Endarteritis Related to Using a Percutaneous Closure Device after Coronary Angiography

Percutaneous arterial closure devices allow earlier mobilization and discharge of patients after arterial catheterization than manual compression for achieving puncture site hemostasis. Our case is representative of Perclose ® associated infections; our patient had a delayed presentation of a staphylococcal arterial infection that required arterial debridement and reconstruction. Physicians should be aware of this uncommon, but serious complication to expedite the evaluation and treatment of patients with suspected infections that can arise from using these devices.

Successful Treatment of an Iatrogenic Giant Femoral Artery Pseudoaneurysm With Percutaneous Thrombin Injection

A femoral artery pseudoaneurysm (FAP) is one of the most troublesome complications following invasive procedures related to the femoral arterial access. Post-procedure FAP rarely occurs; however, its occurrence tends to increase with the more frequently antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants, and larger-sized catheter used for interventional procedures. Traditionally, surgical repair has been considered as the standard treatment modality for FAP; however, less invasive methods currently exist such as blind manual or ultrasound-guided compression repair (UGCR) as well as percutaneous thrombin injection, both of which have replaced the need for surgery. We report a case of a giant pseudoaneurysm in a femoral artery, which had developed as a complication of stenting in a patient with carotid artery stenosis and ischemic heart disease, and was subsequently successfully treated using percutaneous thrombin injection.
