A 69-year-old man underwent carotid artery stenting through the right femoral artery with a percutaneous vascular closure device for hemostasis. Eleven days later, an infective femoral artery pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed by computed tomography. At surgery, a defect in the femoral artery was observed, corresponding to the remnants of the closure device. Removal of the foreign material, debridement, wound irrigation, and arterial patch plasty were performed, but the infection and leg ischemia did not improve. After several failed attempts to revascularize and control the infection, obturator foramen bypass was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful, indicating the usefulness of this procedure.

Like other invasive procedures, percutaneous coronary interventions are associated with complications. Most common access site for these procedures is common femoral artery. Complications such as groin and retroperitoneal hematoma can be encountered as well as pseudoaneurysms, arteriovenous fistulas, acute arterial occlusion, and infection. When infected pseudoaneurysm occurs, surgical treatment can be extremely difficult. We present a case of the patient in whom infected pseudoaneurysm of common femoral artery developed after percutaneous coronary intervention and was successfully treated by surgical excision and autoarterial graft insertion.

Abstract Background Vascular complications increase morbidity and mortality in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). A collagen plug-based closure device - MANTA® was recently introduced as an alternative to the suture-mediated ProGlide® vascular closure device (VCD). Data regarding the efficacy and safety comparing both VCD is scarce. The present study sought to compare the effectiveness of both devices. Methods Single center retrospective analysis on prospectively collected data of 300 consecutive patients who underwent TAVI using MANTA® or ProGlide® since 2018. A 1:1 propensity-score matched population derived by a multivariate logistic regression model based on age, sex, body mass index, pre-procedural haemoglobin, EuroSCORE II, main access calcification and the sheath-to-artery ratio. The primary endpoint was the composite of major or life-threatening bleeding (VARC-2 definition), femoral artery stenosis/dissection, pseudoaneurysm and need for endovascular/surgical bailout intervention. Results The propensity score matching resulted in 129 matched pairs. The median age was 84 years old [IQR 80–87], 42% males with a median EuroSCOREII of 4.29% [IQR 3.05–6.24]. There were no differences in the primary endpoint between MANTA ® and ProGlide® cohorts (3.9% vs 7.8%, p=0.287, respectively). The rates of the primary endpoint with the MANTA® device decreased with center experience, with relatively steep learning curve effect concerning device success. Major or life-threatening bleeding (3.1% vs 5.4%, p=0.540) and pseudoaneurysm (0.8% vs 2.3%, p=0.622) occurred less frequently in MANTA® cohort, but the differences did not reach statistical significance. Endovascular (stent or balloon) or surgical rescue intervention (9.3% vs 5.4%, p=0.341) and femoral artery stenosis/dissection (6.2% vs 3.1%, p=0.376), were also similar rates. In ProGlide® cohort, to achieve VCD success (without primary endpoint events), 15.5% needed more than 2 devices, significantly different from MANTA ® (p<0,001). Conclusions In patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI, the MANTA® VCD showed a similar efficacy and safety compared to the ProGlide® device and it reduced significantly the need of additional VCDs for completion of hemostasis. These results were obtained despite a clear learning curve associated with MANTA. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None
