Transarterial embolization successfully treated a pseudoaneurysm caused by osteochondroma. This minimally invasive technique offers a safe alternative, especially for patients unable to undergo surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Orthopedic Oncology

Background:

  • Osteochondromas can lead to vascular complications, notably pseudoaneurysms.
  • Diagnosis relies on imaging like ultrasound, MRI, and angiography.
  • Surgical excision of the osteochondroma is the standard treatment.

Observation:

  • A case of pseudoaneurysm in the superficial femoral artery secondary to osteochondroma is presented.
  • Transarterial embolization using helical microcoils was performed.
  • The procedure aimed to occlude blood flow to the pseudoaneurysm.

Findings:

  • Successful complete obliteration of blood flow to the pseudoaneurysm was achieved.
  • The patient experienced significant symptomatic relief.

  • No complications occurred during the embolization procedure.

    • Implications:

    • Transarterial embolization is a safe and effective treatment for osteochondroma-related pseudoaneurysms in experienced hands.
    • Embolization can serve as a definitive treatment option for patients with surgical contraindications.
    • This approach provides a valuable alternative to open surgery, potentially reducing morbidity.
