1/8. Complete survival of a free flap after early pseudoaneurysm formation and pedicle thrombosis.A microsurgical pseudoaneurysm is a very rare complication after free flap surgery. The authors report a case of a free thoracodorsal artery perforator flap transferred to a degloving wound on the dorsum of the foot and ankle. The patient developed pedicle thrombosis caused by a septic pseudoaneurysm, which was treated by conservative means. Sufficient vascularization developed within 15 days after surgery and the flap survived completely. This is in sharp contrast to other reported cases of pseudoaneurysm formation, all of which were treated surgically and resulted in flap failure, except in one case. A critical review of the literature is presented and the factors influencing flap survival are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = pseudoaneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/8. A traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the dorsalis pedis artery: report of a case.A 63-year old woman underwent a resection of a pseudoaneurysm in the dorsalis pedis artery. The aneurysm was suggested to have formed because of a bruise on the dorsal aspect of the foot 5 years previously. This is a rare case of a traumatic aneurysm in the peripheral artery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = pseudoaneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/8. Pseudoaneurysm of the lateral plantar artery after foot laceration.Two children with lateral plantar artery pseudoaneurysms are presented. Both cases were associated with a plantar laceration and were successfully treated with ligation. Only one other report of a lateral plantar artery pseudoaneurysm was found in the literature; no reports involving the medial plantar artery have been reported. A cadaver dissection supports the hypothesis that the lateral plantar artery is more superficially located and therefore more vulnerable to injury compared with the medial plantar artery. Clinicians treating patients with lacerations of the foot should be aware that an arterial injury may be present, even in the absence of active bleeding.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.28571428571429keywords = pseudoaneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/8. Pseudoaneurysm of the dorsalis pedis artery: color Doppler sonographic and angiographic findings.Pseudoaneurysm of the dorsalis pedis artery is an uncommon condition that is usually caused by a traumatic injury or an iatrogenic intervention. The patient usually complains of an enlarging painless, pulsatile mass. A tentative diagnosis may be made by palpation of the pulsatile mass and detection of an associated systolic bruit. color Doppler sonographic and arteriographic examinations can be used to confirm the diagnosis. We report the case of a 17-year-old patient with a posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm of the dorsalis pedis artery. Sonographic examinations revealed pulsatile flow into and out of a cystic structure surrounded by a thick hypoechoic wall and a "to-and-fro" pattern in the neck of the vascular mass; these findings were consistent with the diagnosis of a pseudoaneurysm. angiography confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was treated with ligation of the artery and resection of the pseudoaneurysm. He recovered well after surgery and remained free of symptoms 3 months postoperatively. We believe that color Doppler sonography should be the procedure of choice for use in diagnosing pseudoaneurysms; arteriography can then be used to evaluate the alternative blood supply before surgery is undertaken.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.57142857142857keywords = pseudoaneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/8. Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the dorsalis pedis artery in a child.A basic principle of children's surgery is to plan it to last for 70 years. The successful reconstruction of the dorsalis pedis artery in an 8-year-old after trauma may be of benefit if he develops peripheral vascular disease as an adult.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.57142857142857keywords = pseudoaneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/8. Pseudoaneurysm of the dorsalis pedis artery.Two cases of post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the dorsalis pedis artery are presented. Both were managed by resection and vascular reconstruction with a successful result. It is suggested that this, rather than resection and ligation, is the preferred treatment in these cases.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = pseudoaneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/8. A new technique for nonsurgical repair of peripheral pseudoaneurysm.Peripheral vascular lesions may be inaccessible to treatment using catheter techniques. Ultrasound imaging in combination with Doppler may identify such lesions and provide possibilities for image-guided compression, injection of embolizing material by direct puncture, or both.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.57142857142857keywords = pseudoaneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
