Key result
Endovascular treatment using self-expandable stentgrafts successfully repaired iatrogenic arterial injuries following lower limb orthopedic surgeries in two elderly female patients.
Why the study?
To present the possibility of endovascular treatment for feared and potentially devastating iatrogenic arterial injuries occurring during hip and knee replacement orthopedic surgeries.
Case Report (n=2)
No
Endovascular treatment with self-expandable stentgrafts is a highly effective and safe first-line option for managing potentially devastating iatrogenic arterial injuries following lower limb orthopedic surgeries.
May support endovascular stentgraft repair for select iatrogenic arterial injuries; leaves open need for larger prospective studies.

Hůlek et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Iatrogenic arterial injury following lower limb orthopedic surgery (n=2). Endovascular treatment (self-expandable stentgraft implantation) was evaluated. Endovascular treatment using self-expandable stentgrafts successfully repaired iatrogenic arterial injuries following lower limb orthopedic surgeries in two elderly female patients.
