Angioplasty-related iliac artery rupture: Treatment by temporary balloon occlusion

Abstract

A case of nonsurgical treatment of common iliac artery rupture secondary to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is reported.

Iatrogenic subclavian artery rupture: A unique case report on balloon occlusion

“…In 1991, Milford et al reported the first case of successful hemostasis achieved solely unitizing subclavian artery balloon occlusion [ 10 ]. A 1987 report describes balloon occlusion to control iliac arterial bleeding without any subsequent open surgical intervention [ 11 ]. Milford et al describe a case in which a 7-French PTA catheter with a 10-mm balloon 4 cm in length was placed distal to the vertebral origin, while overlapping with the catheter's entry site.…”

“…To our understanding, only one other case documents the use of a balloon shorter than the vessel diameter. In fact, the balloon used in this case was 6-mm and was used to repair an iatrogenic external iliac artery rupture during a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty [ 6 , 11 ].…”

Management of Acute Complications during Endovascular Procedures in Peripheral Arterial Disease: A Review

“…60 The timing of inflation is variable, with the average time varying from 5 to 30 minutes. [61][62][63][64] Tamponade with a slightly larger balloon may be helpful when the initial tamponade is unsuccessful (►Fig. 8) but results are unpredictable.…”

Potentially Life-Saving Role for Temporary Endovascular Balloon Occlusion in Atypical Mediastinal Hematoma

“…Temporary balloon occlusion has been used in the setting of arterial trauma [3,4] and in the repair of leaking abdominal aortic aneurysms [5]. For injuries to the brachiocephalic artery, this technique permits easier, less invasive operative dissection and may eliminate the need for clamping the artery proximal to the injury.…”
