Abstract

Pseudoaneurysms represent contained disruption of the arterial wall. Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms frequently complicate complex endovascular procedures. With use of an animal model, the authors attempted to determine the safety and efficacy of using a perfusion balloon catheter (PBC) to thrombose surgically created pseudoaneurysms. An in vitro system measured maximum flow volume through a 5-F PBC. Pseudoaneurysms were created in domestic swine with use of a jugular vein patch anastomosed to a femoral arteriotomy. The PBC was inflated across the pseudoaneurysm neck for 30-minute intervals until thrombosis was confirmed by ultrasound. Completion arteriography was performed to evaluate for vascular complications. Maximum flow through the PBC was 62.6 mL/min measured at a constant pressure gradient of 120 mm Hg. Five pseudoaneurysms were created in four animals. The PBC completely thrombosed all five lesions. The mean treatment duration was 129 minutes (+/- 39 minutes SD). No native arterial injury, in situ thrombus, or distal embolization occurred. Partial recanalization of three of the five treated pseudoaneurysms was identified on follow-up arteriography and gross sectioning (n = 2 and n = 1, respectively). The PBC safely and effe...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
