Hybrid Management of a Pseudoaneurysm of the Inferior Gluteal Artery Following a Stab Wound

Abstract

Aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms of the gluteal artery are rare. They represent less than 1% of the described arterial aneurysms. Those that touch the inferior gluteal artery are even rarer. Only a few cases have been described worldwide. Such cases often present with a variable time course, mode of injury, and associated symptoms, leading to their misdiagnosis and improper treatment. We present the case of a 30-year-old male, who presented to our emergency room one week after a stab wound in the left gluteal region causing a pseudoaneurysm of the left inferior gluteal artery with a sciatic compartment syndrome treated by a hybrid approach.

Subclavian Artery Pseudoaneurysm Following Bedside Temporary Hemodialysis Catheter Insertion: A Case Report

“…Endovascular treatments include the insertion of a covered stent to seal off focal arterial lesions, endovascular compression via prolonged balloon dilatation, direct thrombin injection with or without image guidance, or the embolization of the pseudoaneurysm itself [10][11][12][13]. When deploying a covered stent, the exclusion of arterial structures such as the common carotid artery, vertebral artery, or internal thoracic artery should be avoided [10,11]. In the present case, the pseudoaneurysm was located in the proximal portion of the subclavian artery, which was located about 1 cm away from the common carotid artery.…”
