Special problems after iatrogenic vascular injuries.
Iatrogenic vascular injuries occurring at our institution were reviewed and several special problems not previously well described were found. These include carotid and femoral pseudoaneurysms, occult hemorrhage and knotting of the angiographic catheter. These problems are exemplified in four patient reports to illustrate how appropriate planning of operative approach and adherence to vascular surgical principles can optimize results.
