- Abstract
Purpose: To report on the endovascular management of a patient affected by concomitant left common iliac artery and right superficial femoral artery (SFA) pseudoaneurysms after stent positioning. Case Report: A 77-year-old man affected by severe lower limb atherosclerosis was previously treated with iliac and femoropopliteal Supera stenting procedures; he presented to our emergency department because of bilateral severe claudication recurrence, back pain, and right groin region swelling. Angio-computed tomography (CT) depicted 2 pseudoaneurysms of the left common iliac artery and right SFA, due to stent fracture and stent intussusception, respectively. A 2-step endovascular treatment was planned using bilaterally covered stent-grafts to exclude vascular lesions from blood flow. The devices were successfully deployed without any complication. At 1 month, angio-CT confirmed patency of the implanted stent-grafts showing complete pseudoaneurysm exclusion without leaks. Conclusion: Endovascular approach can be a valid option in the treatment of pseudoaneurysms due to stenting procedure complications.
