ABSTRACT
Local complications after femoral arterial catheterization, such as hematomas, pseudoaneurysms, arteriovenous fistulas (AV fistulas), and arterial occlusions, are becoming more common, with the growing number of complex invasive procedures being undertaken, especially in older and sicker patients. Newer percutaneous techniques are being developed to treat these. Covered stents are an effective, safe, and less invasive way to deal with pseudoaneurysms and AV fistulas. This case report highlights the application of this technique to treat an iatrogenic femoral AV fistula in a 69 years male.
