Abstract

Retroperitoneal hematoma is a potential complication of femoral venous access that rarely leads to bilateral ureteral obstruction. We present the case of a 73-year-old woman who underwent an ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation complicated by laceration of an aberrant obturator artery during femoral venous cannulation, leading to a compressive retroperitoneal hematoma, bilateral ureteral obstruction, acute renal failure, and renal forniceal rupture. The patient was successfully treated with embolization of the inferior epigastric artery and aberrant obturator artery, hematoma evacuation, and ureteral stent placement. This case illustrates a rare complication of arterial laceration during femoral venous access without ultrasound guidance.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
