Description
Dominic N. Facciponte and colleagues describe, in a 2026 technique report, a needle-based repair for femoral artery pseudoaneurysms that follow catheter access. A pseudoaneurysm is a contained leak from an artery wall. Usual options include compression, thrombin injection, a covered stent, or open surgery, yet some patients are poor candidates for those routes or have already failed them.
The team used a suture-mediated closure device, guided only by ultrasound, passing through the neck of the pseudoaneurysm under real-time imaging along its long axis. Five patients with noninfected lesions and suitable opening sizes were treated, and the repair succeeded in three. Two needed other repairs, after access to the neck failed or the suture closure did not hold. The authors present the method as a radiation-free option for selected high-risk patients.
