Direct Carotid Puncture for Flow Diverter Stent Insertion
Published on: 30th June, 2017
OCLC Number/Unique Identifier: 7317653750
Objective: To report our experience of direct carotid puncture and its use in the management of a large and rapidly expanding cavernous aneurysm.
Methods: A patient with a cavernous aneurysm that measured 25mm in maximum diameter underwent treatment with flow diversion. The initial treatment strategy was parent vessel occlusion however she failed the balloon occlusion test at 3 minutes. Due to extremely tortuous vessels stable access via a common femoral artery approach was impossible to achieve. We present our strategy, the post-operative management and long term results.
Results: Using a direct carotid puncture three telescoped Pipeline embolisation devices were successfully deployed across the neck of the cavernous aneurysm without complication. The puncture site formed a stable platelet plug after direct compression with an ultrasound probe for 90 minutes with no post-operative complications either intracranially or at the neck puncture site. At 2 year follow-up the aneurysm is completely excluded from the circulation.
Conclusion: Direct carotid puncture can be used as access for intracranial interventional procedures even if patients are on dual anti-platelet medication.
Post-catheterization Common Femoral Artery Pseudoaneurysm in a Patient with a Mechanical Mitral Valve Requiring Anticoagulation: A Case Report
Published on: 15th July, 2024
Iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms are a rare complication of transfemoral vascular access. We present a case of a 65-year-old woman with a mechanical mitral valve requiring warfarin, who developed a femoral pseudoaneurysm four days after cardiac catheterization with femoral access. The patient developed a 17 x 10 x 17 cm rectus sheath hematoma and was treated with ultrasound-guided thrombin injection. Anticoagulation was held for three days while the patient was monitored for further bleeding and later restarted based on shared decision-making, given the risk of valve thrombosis. There are few guidelines regarding the re-initiation of anticoagulation in high-risk bleeding patients with mechanical mitral valves. Non-invasive coronary computed tomography angiography should be considered in patients on anticoagulation who require non-emergent cardiac ischemic evaluation.
