Abstract

The femoral artery is the most common vascular access site used for angiographic interventions. Various complications, such as hematoma, bleeding, dissection, arteriovenous fistula, and pseudoaneurysm have been described following an iatrogenic puncture. However, angiosarcoma formation at the access site is very uncommon and poses a diagnostic dilemma, due to the resemblance to an organized hematoma. A 75-year-old patient who had previously undergone coronary angiography developed angiosarcoma with vascular complications due to local invasion at the puncture site. Although the tumor was completely excised and flow was re-established, the patient died 17 months later as a result of multiple metastases and associated complications. The presence of a persistent mass with vascular complaints should raise suspicion for this rare and aggressive type of tumor.

Özet

Femoral arter anjiyografi işlemleri sırasında en sık kullanılan vasküler giriş yolu özelliğini taşımaktadır. İşlem sonrası hematom, kanama, diseksiyon, arteriyovenöz fistül ve psödoanevrizma gibi çeşitlli komplikasyonlar tanımlanmıştır. Giriş bölgesinde anjiyosarkom oluşumu ise oldukça nadir olup, organize hematom ile benzerliğinden dolayı doğru ve zamanında tanısı zordur. Yetmiş beş yaşında bir hastada koroner anjiyografi sonrası anjiyosarkom gelişmiş ve de lokal yayılıma bağlı olarak girişim bölgesinde vasküler komplikasyonlara yol açmıştır. Kitlenin tamamen çıkarılmasına ve kan akımının tekar sağlanmasına rağmen hasta 17 ay sonra çoklu metastaz ve de komplikasyonları sonucunda kaybedilmiştir. Girişim bölgesinde kalıcı bir kitlenin varlığı nadir görülen bu tümörün varlığından şüphe ettirmelidir.
