Arterial puncture closure devices (APCD) are frequently used after cardiac catheterization. Here, the diagnosis and therapy of femoral artery complications after the use of the Angio-Seal APCD is reported.
The Angio-Seal APCD was deployed in 1600 patients undergoing transfemoral catheterization.
In 7 of 1600 cases (0.4%) vascular complications occurred following Angio-Seal deployment. Diagnosis was made by duplex sonography. Intraoperative findings consisted of a complete occlusion with dissection of the femoral artery in all patients. In 6 cases, the femoral bifurcation had to be reconstructed after endarterectomy. Follow-up is complete with a mean of 6 months.
The Angio-Seal device should not be used for closure of the superficial femoral artery and in patients with severe arteriosclerosis. The application of arteriography as well as the use of ultrasound-guided puncture is advisable. In all cases, surgical intervention was successful and an adequate therapy for management of complications.
动脉穿刺闭合装置(APCD)在心脏导管插入术后经常使用。在此,报告使用血管封堵器APCD后股动脉并发症的诊断和治疗情况。
血管封堵器APCD应用于1600例经股动脉导管插入术患者。
1600例中有7例(0.4%)在使用血管封堵器后发生血管并发症。通过双功超声检查进行诊断。术中发现所有患者股动脉均完全闭塞并伴有夹层。6例患者在动脉内膜切除术后必须重建股动脉分叉。平均随访6个月,随访完整。
血管封堵器不应用于股浅动脉闭合以及严重动脉硬化患者。建议进行动脉造影以及采用超声引导穿刺。在所有病例中,手术干预均成功,且对并发症的处理有充分的治疗方法。
