Major vascular injuries complicating knee arthroscopy

Major vascular injuries complicating knee arthroscopy

Starting with a case report, we made a detailed review of the literature, with the purpose of identifying and analyzing the type of iatrogenic vascular lesion following knee arthroscopy and the method of vascular repair. A PubMed literature search was undertaken to locate all reported cases of major vascular iatrogenic injuries during arthroscopic knee procedures. We identified 39 papers which ...

Pseudoaneurysm complicating knee arthroscopy. A case report.

Pseudoaneurysm formation is a rare complication after knee arthroscopy. Most pseudoaneurysms complicating knee arthroscopy develop on the popliteal and geniculate arteries. We report a case of a pseudoaneurysm developed on an arterial branch to the medial gastrocnemius muscle, as a complication of an arthroscopic meniscectomy in a 66-year-old patient. The patient was treated successfully by res...

Ischemic colitis complicating major vascular surgery.

Ischemic colitis is a well-described complication of major vascular surgery, especially following open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and endovascular aneurysm repair, but also with aortoiliac surgery, aortic dissection, and thoracic aneurysm repair. Following its onset, mortality remains high, highlighting the need for rapidly identifying the onset of symptoms and, perhaps more importantly, ...

Embolisation for Major Iatrogenic Renal Vascular Injuries

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of renal angiography and transarterial embolisation in the management of major iatrogenic renal vascular injuries. Patients and Methods: Records of 9 patients with major renal vascular complications (pseudoaneurysm or arteriovenous fistula) after percutaneous renal procedures were reviewed. They were investigated with digital subtraction angiography followed ...
