Abstract:
Seven-year-old boy presented with pain in right lower limb and abdomen after a fall from a bullock cart. He was referred for management of pseudoaneurysm of the right common iliac artery. After CT angiogram, the vascular surgeon opined that child was not suitable for surgical patch or graft or endovascular stenting as there was no landing zone for the stent. Hence the child was treated with transcatheter closure with two Amplatzer duct occluder II (ADO II). On follow-up the symptoms and bruit disappeared. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of pseudoaneurysm, treated with ADO II.
