Amplatzer device closure of femoral pseudoaneurysm after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: An alternative to surgical repair

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2021 Jun 1;97(7):E967-E972. doi: 10.1002/ccd.29424. Epub 2020 Dec 22.

Abstract

Iatrogenic femoral artery pseudoaneurysm is an infrequent but troublesome complication of vascular access during transcatheter aortic valve implantation. There are non-invasive, percutaneous and surgical treatment options for management of this complication. This case series report demonstrates a novel technique using an Amplatzer Duct Occluder II closure device to successfully treat iatrogenic common femoral pseudoaneurysm following transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Keywords: Amplatzer Duct Occluder; TAVI; femoral pseudoaneursym; vascular complications.
