Common femoral artery ligation and local debridement: a safe treatment for infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysms

Journal of Vascular Surgery

Abstract

The management of infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysms (IFAPs) is difficult and controversial. Use of synthetic or autologous conduit during arterial revascularization in these cases is complicated by the presence of sepsis and unavailability of autologous venous conduit. We present the results of common femoral artery (CFA) ligation and local drainage with debridement for the treatment of IFAP. A retrospective chart review of six consecutive patients from 1995 to 1999 who presented with IFAP from intravenous drug abuse was performed. Inpatient records, anesthesia records, and outpatient clinic charts were reviewed. All patients were men with right-sided lesions. All six patients abused heroin, and five (83%) abused heroin and cocaine. All six patients had a duplex ultrasound scan, and five (83%) patients had a digital subtraction angiogram to confirm the clinical diagnosis. Proximal vascular control was achieved retroperitoneally through an oblique suprainguinal incision. After vascular isolation and test clamping of the distal external iliac artery (EIA), the pedal pulses were examined with continuous wave Doppler scan. If a Doppler signal was present, this was followed with CFA ligation and local drainage and debridement ...Continue Reading
