Summary
Suture-mediated closure devices offer a minimally invasive solution for iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms, a common complication of endovascular procedures. These devices successfully repaired superficial femoral artery and common femoral artery pseudoaneurysms, showing promise for broader clinical adoption.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Cardiology
- Medical Device Technology
Background:
- Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms are frequent complications of endovascular procedures, particularly at femoral artery access sites (2.6%-7.7%).
- Traditional treatments like manual compression, thrombin injection, and surgical repair have limitations, including recurrence, invasiveness, and embolic risks.
- Suture-mediated closure devices represent a novel, minimally invasive alternative for pseudoaneurysm repair.
