Abstract

Iatrogenic common femoral artery pseudoaneurysm is a well-described vascular access complication. Several methods have been proposed to treat these pseudoaneurysms. In this report, we present three cases of successful pseudoaneurysm closure using a novel method of retrograde pseudoaneurysm access and thrombosis with Angio-Seal (St Jude Medical, St Paul, MN) closure device. This technique appears safe, effective, and reduces patient discomfort.
