Successful endovascular repair of complicated pseudoaneurysm using Perclose ProGlide: A novel concept

Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm is common vascular complications of angiographic procedures. Patients with uncomplicated pseudoaneurysms can be managed with ultrasound-guided techniques. However, for complicated pseudoaneurysms, surgical repair of the artery is mandatory. We report a case of successful repair of complicated pseudoaneurysm using an access-site closure device, Perclose ProGlide (TM) without a surgical approach.
