Pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistulae are classical but unusual complications of femoral catheterism. The use of large diameter catheters, heparinotherapy and fibrinolysis constitute risk factors. These local complications are becoming more frequent resulting from an increase in interventional techniques. Therefore, a non invasive management of these lesions becomes necessary. A simple manual percutaneous compression of the puncture site was successful as treatment of 3 arteriovenous fistulae and 4 of 7 pseudoaneurysms. That is the reason why the authors consider that this technique constitutes a good alternative of the surgical treatment.

D000783 Aneurysm Pathological outpouching or sac-like dilatation in the wall of any blood vessel (ARTERIES or VEINS) or the heart (HEART ANEURYSM). It indicates a thin and weakened area in the wall which may later rupture. Aneurysms are classified by location, etiology, or other characteristics.

D001164 Arteriovenous Fistula An abnormal direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the CAPILLARIES. An A-V fistula usually leads to the formation of a dilated sac-like connection, arteriovenous aneurysm. The locations and size of the shunts determine the degree of effects on the cardiovascular functions such as BLOOD PRESSURE and HEART RATE.
