Purpose: Pseudoaneurysms after percutaneous vascular access are common and potentially fatal if left untreated. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and risk factors associated with access site pseudoaneurysms after endovascular intervention for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) under a routine postintervention ultrasound (US) surveillance protocol.
Methods: A total of 254 PAD interventions were performed in a single center between January 2015 and November 2016, and puncture site duplex US surveillance was routinely performed within 48 hours of the procedure. Clinical, procedural and follow-up US data were analyzed.
Results: The overall incidence of pseudoaneurysm was 2.75% (6 cases in the femoral artery and 1 in the brachial artery). There was no difference between retrograde and antegrade approach, but there was a higher rate of pseudoaneurysm formation after manual compression compared to arterial closure device (ACD) use (4.3% vs. 0.87%). Manual compression was more commonly used for antegrade punctures (79.0%) and ACD for retrograde punctures (67.7%). Calcification was more frequently found in antegrade approach cases (46.8% vs. 16.9% for retrograde cases) and manual compression was preferred in its presence. All pseudoaneurysms were treated successfully at the time of diagnosis by US-guided compression repair and there were no cases of rupture.
Conclusion: Pseudoaneurysm rates after therapeutic endovascular intervention for PAD were comparable to other cardiologic or interventional radiologic procedures despite the higher possibility of having a diseased access vessel. Routine US surveillance of access sites allowed for early diagnosis and noninvasive treatment of pseudoaneurysms, preventing potentially fatal complications.
