Abstract:
Femoral vein pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication during percutaneous interventions. We report the case of a patient with common femoral vein pseudoaneurysm caused by unsuccessful manual compression. A 68-year-old woman underwent catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation at another institution. Postoperatively, she experienced right groin pain and leg edema. Doppler ultrasound examination revealed a 2-cm venous pseudoaneurysm as a compressible and hypoechoic lesion. We successfully performed venous aneurysmectomy after failed ultrasound-guided compression therapy. Appropriate procedures must be selected for patients with femoral pseudoaneurysm. The efficacy of hemostatic techniques for preventing vascular complications after venous sheath removal should not be underestimated.
