Novas tecnologias, novas complicações: complicações após uso de novos dispositivos de selamento e de trombectomia arterial

Abstract

We describe a singular case of both ischemic and traumatic complication, referring to use of new devices used for endovascular approach, in the same patient. One is a hemostatic closure device (Angio-Seal ® -St. Jude Medical) and the other is a catheter for percutaneous rotational and aspiration thrombectomy (Rotarex ® -Straub Medical). We discuss indication to use these devices in severely ill patients, with hemodynamic instability, or in a state of hypercoagulability, associated with femoral atherosclerotic disease, due to its high potential of complications.
