Abstract:
Objective To summarize the therapeutic results and experience of the interventional managements for pseudoaneurysms occurred after surgery. Methods Five pseudoaneurysms with different location that occurred after surgery in five patients were treated with different interventional managements. One patient suffered from a ruptured pseudoaneurysm of left common iliac artery, which was treated by obstructing the diseased artery with balloon via the abdominal aorta followed by the replacement of vascular prostheses. One patient had a pseudoaneurysm of right subclavian artery and endovascular covered stent was employed to isolate it. The remaining three patients were affected by pseudoaneurysm of terminal arteries and intraarterial embolization with gelfoam and/or steel coils was camed out. Results Complete closing of the pseudoaneurysm was obtained in all five patients and no therapy-related complications occurred. Conclusion Pseudoaneurysms occurred after surgery can be effectively treated with different interventional managements, it is worth popularizing this technique in clinical practice.
