Abstract Background This is a rare case of removing an intra-arterial foreign body represented by MynxGrip polyethylene glycol (PEG) sealant as a rare complication of using the MynxGrip™ Vascular Closure Device (AccessClosure, Inc., Mountain View, CA) using a pRESET stent retriever (Phenox, Bochum, Germany) which is utilized mainly for treatment of endovascular stroke. Case presentation A 60-year-old female patient suffering from intermittent claudication in the right lower limb (stage IIb according to Fontaine) due to a peripheral arterial occlusive disease was presented for an elective revascularization using balloon angioplasty of a short chronic occlusion of the right superficial femoral artery. After a successful revascularization of the right superficial femoral artery using a retrograde femoral access from the left common femoral artery, the patient suffered from an acute limb ischemia in the left foot with distal popliteal embolization with involvement of BTK (below the knee) trifurcation. This is believed to be due to an intra-arterial foreign body embolism of MynxGrip polyethylene glycol sealant as a rare complication of using the MynxGrip™ Vascular Closure Device. Conclusions Stent retrievers have been used previously in removing dislocated coils especially in the cerebral vessels. This case report however proves a high efficacy and safety of using stent retrievers in removing different and rather unusual intra-arterial foreign bodies such as MynxGrip polyethylene glycol sealant.

Purpose: To present a case of extensive thigh hematoma that developed after use of a percutaneous suturing device for retrograde popliteal artery puncture. Case Report: A 55-year-old woman underwent endovascular treatment for a short occlusion of the right superficial femoral artery via a retrograde popliteal approach, after which the puncture site was closed with a Closer suture-mediated device. Several hours later, massive hematoma of the right thigh developed, which was noticed only after the patient's leg became markedly swollen and hypotension developed. Conclusions: The use of a suture-mediated closure device for a retrograde popliteal artery puncture may not be recommended.

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.

Legal Consequences

We report two cases of femoral vein thrombosis after arterial PTA and subsequent pressure stasis. We discuss the legal consequences of these complications for information policies. Because venous thrombembolism following an arterial PTA might cause serious sequel or life threatening complications, there is a clear obligation for explicit information of the patients about this rare complication.

Abstract Background Currently, the success rate of EVT for treating CTO of the SFA is high; however, EVT is still found to be insufficient in treating CTOs with severely calcified lesions. Even if the guidewire crosses the lesion, the calcifications may still cause difficulties during stent expansion. Main text A 78-year-old male had been reported to have intermittent claudication with chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the right superficial femoral artery (SFA). Angiography revealed severely calcified plaque (Angiographic calcium score: Group4a [1]) at the ostium of the SFA. Stenting posed a risk of underexpansion, causing the plaque to shift to the deep femoral artery. we decided to remove the calcified plaque using biopsy forceps. After removing the extended calcified plaque, the guidewire could cross easily, and the self-expandable stent was well dilated without causing the plaque to shift to the DFA. Conclusions Biopsy forceps may be used in some endovascular cases to remove severely calcified lesions. To ensure the safety of the patient, the physician must be adept at performing this technique before attempting it.

A 66-year-old male presented with pain and swelling isolated to the right thigh after a bout of vigorous exercise on a step treadmill. We report a muscle strain injury resulting in formation of a pseudoaneurysm arising from a branch of the mid superficial femoral artery. The pseudoaneurysm was incidentally discovered during a venous ultrasound examination. Within 2 weeks of its finding, the pseudoaneurysm had resolved.

A 63 year-old woman with claudication underwent endovascular therapy for diffuse stenosis of the right superficial femoral artery in our hospital. We performed paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty using the IN.PACT™ Admiral™ and achieved acceptable results. After 42 days, we performed follow-up optical frequency domain imaging for the right superficial femoral artery lesion treated with paclitaxel-coated balloon and observed several high-intensity regions with attenuation on the lumen surface. Sustained drug availability is a notable characteristic of paclitaxel-coated balloon. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the visualization of sustained drug retention on the lumen surface using follow-up optical frequency domain imaging after paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty in a human patient with superficial femoral artery disease.
