| Summary: | Iatrogenic rupture of the iliac artery during endovascular intervention is a rare but potentially
serious complication of vascular interventional procedures that can lead to hemorrhagic
shock and death if not diagnosed early and treated promptly. A 51-year-old man underwent
transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma. During the procedure,
the right common iliac artery ruptured, which was identified by extravasation of contrast
media on angiography. Urgent balloon tamponade was performed for 20 minutes, followed
by contralateral femoral access, and distal aorta ballooning was performed to stabilize
the hemodynamics; during ballooning, a balloon-expandable stent graft was deployed from
the ipsilateral side. The patient’s vital signs stabilized without complications. This report highlights
the importance of prompt recognition and management of iatrogenic vascular injuries
during endovascular procedures as well as the efficacy of balloon tamponade, distal aorta
ballooning, and stent-graft placement in achieving hemostasis and patient stabilization. |
