Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm of the peroneal artery

Abstract: An elderly patient who presented with an acute lower limb ischaemia was managed by thromboembolectomy: this led to revascularisation of the lower limb but resulted in an iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm of the peroneal artery. Subsequent endovascular treatment was successful, and the patient has made a good recovery.

“…The peroneal artery was selected using a 0.027-inch microcatheter (Pro great, Terumo) and was successfully embolised by deploying multiple 3, 4, and 5 mm diameter 0.01800 fibred platinum coils (VortX Diamond-18, Boston Scientific) proximal and distal to the pseudoaneurysm. After the embolization, there were no complications related to the procedure [8] .…”

“…Small asymptomatic lesions may only need observation for 4–6 weeks with the expectation of spontaneous recovery. While larger (>3 cm) symptomatic lesions may need open surgical repair, ultrasound-guided compression, ultrasound-guided thrombin injection, or coil embolization [5] , [8] . In this case, the aneurysm size was 20 × 10 × 10 mm, but massive bleeding had occurred; thus, immediate treatment, either open surgical repair, ultrasound-guided compression, ultrasound-guided thrombin injection, or coil embolization, was indicated for the patient ( Fig.…”

“…Latrogenic pseudoaneurysms are the most common complication after interventional invasive procedures and anatomically are most seen in the femoral artery (10). Patients clinically have a pulsating mass, palpable thrill and murmur (8).…”

“…In the treatment of pseudoaneurysm, compression, thrombin or collagen injection, and coil embolization can be applied with USG. In addition, surgical stent or graft implantation and primary surgical repair can be performed (2,(7)(8)(9)(10).…”

“…Pseudoaneurysms or false aneurysms are caused by physical or biological damage to the adventitial layer of the artery leading to gradual, persistent extravasation of blood into the surrounding soft tissues that connect within the arterial lumen [1] . Mechanical causes for pseudoaneurysms are trauma (fracture, dislocation and penetrating injuries) [2] , [3] , [4] , vascular arterial interventions (anastomotic disruption and arterial cannulation procedures), and orthopaedic interventions (Drills, pins of external fixators, screws and arthroscopic portals) [4] , [5] , [6] . The biological cause for the pseudoaneurysm formation is infection [7] .…”
