Combined open surgical and endovascular management of ruptured femoral artery from recurrent vulvar cancer / 부인종양

ABSTRACT

We report on the case of a 50-year-old woman with exsanguinating haemorrhage from the common femoral artery as a complication of recurrent vulvar cancer in the groin which was managed successfully with combined open surgical and endovascular intervention. She survived another three months and died from progressive disease without further episodes of bleeding. This complication is rare, presents dramatically, and is usually a terminal event. For those cases where intervention is considered appropriate, the option of combined open surgical and endovascular repair should be kept in mind.
