Femoral pseudoaneurysm closure by direct access: To stick or not to stick?

Femoral artery pseudoaneurysms are usually the result of femoral artery cannulation for percutaneous cardiac or endovascular procedures. It causes compression of surrounding structures, may cause distal embolization, arteriovenous fistula formation, or might rupture. Most close spontaneously by thrombosis, and the remainder need intervention, either percutaneous or surgical repair. We describe a unique case of femoral pseudoaneurysm that was repaired percutaneously by excluding it via stenting and simultaneous closure of residual aneurysm by direct access and coil embolization.
