Percutaneous closure of iatrogenic femoral arteriovenous fistula using endovascular covered stent.

Local complications after femoral arterial catheterization, such as hematomas, pseudoaneurysms, arteriovenous fistulas (AV fistulas), and arterial occlusions, are becoming more common, with the growing number of complex invasive procedures being undertaken, especially in older and sicker patients. Newer percutaneous techniques are being developed to treat these. Covered stents are an effective, safe, and less invasive way to deal with pseudoaneurysms and AV fistulas. This case report highlights the application of this technique to treat an iatrogenic femoral AV fistula in a 69 years male.

Left ventricular aneurysm: angiographic determinants.

To determine antiographic factors involved in left ventricular aneurysm formation after myocardial infarction, 50 patients with a first anterior wall myocardial infarction who underwent cardiac catheterisation within 6 months of infarction were evaluated. Extent of coronary artery disease and status of collateral circulation were studied in detail. Thirty patients had aneurysm in apical region while 20 patients showed aneurysm in anteroapical region. Coronary angiography revealed single-vessel disease in 17 patients, double-vessel disease in 17 patients and triple-vessel disease in 15 patients while in one patient coronary angiogram was normal. Fortynine patients showed significant involvement of left anterior descending artery which was poorly collateralised. Left anterior descending artery disease in association with inherent poor collateral blood supply may predispose for aneurysm formation after anterior wall myocardial infarction.
