Pseudoaneurysm is a well-documented but rare complication of retrograde femoral arterial puncture. We present six patients in whom pseudoaneurysm complicated this procedure. The pseudoaneurysm arose from the superficial femoral artery in five patients and from the profunda femoris artery in one. An arteriovenous fistula also arose from the superficial femoral artery in one patient. In no patient did the pseudoaneurysm arise from the common femoral artery. Two mechanisms are postulated as to why pseudoaneurysms rarely complicate puncture of the common femoral artery.

Abstract Formation of a femoral artery pseudoaneurysm is not infrequent after femoral arterial access. We successfully treated a pseudoaneurysm of the femoral artery using the StarClose vascular closure system. Closing device can be an alternative option for the treatment of pseudoaneurysm. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided compression repair(UGCR) for post-(puncture) femoral artery pseudoaneurysm.Methods: Twenty-four patients with post-catheterization femoral artery pseudoaneurysm underwent compression repair with a probe.Results: Femoral artery pseudoaneurysm repair was performed successfully in 96%(23/24) patients with a single compression. Conclusion: UGCR is a simple,(effective),safe and cost-effective method for treatment of post-puncture femoral artery pseudoaneurysm and has high potential in clinical practice.

Neotropical stingrays have stingers at the base of the tail, which are used in self-defense and are covered with an epithelium containing mucous and venom glands. The stingray then sinks its stinger into the victim, causing an extremely painful wound, which can result in tissue necrosis. Medical treatment is based on the use of painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics, as to date there is no specific antidote for this type of envenomation. Public health authorities should therefore plan measures aimed at the treatment and epidemiologic reporting of stingray envenomation so as to encourage, and provide a basis for, the relevant organs to implement measures to raise environmental awareness, train health professionals to treat victims of envenomation and undertake studies to produce specific serum therapies.

This case report describes the successful management of a stingray laceration and suspected envenomation using a combination of opioid analgesia, heat compression, antimicrobial therapy, surgical debridement and closure. Stingray envenomation in the dog is a rare clinical presentation and is yet to be documented in the Australian veterinary literature. Envenomation can be markedly painful and may cause swelling and local tissue necrosis. No consensus on treatment guidelines has been published. Diagnostics and treatments performed are outlined with recommendations on a management plan for future cases.
