Primary access problems in the area of the femoral artery due to arteriosclerotic changes
- Prophylaxis: thorough clinical examination, if necessary preoperative angiographic clarification, intraoperative subtle preparation of the inguinal vessels
- Management: vascular surgical reconstruction (thromboendarterectomy, patch plasty, bypass or similar)
Dissection or rupture in the course of the iliac artery or aorta due to endovascular materials (wires, catheters, sheaths, endoprosthesis)
- Prophylaxis: Manipulations only under X-ray control
- Management: Final check of arterial inflow and radiological control, leave guidewire in-situ for further interventions, vascular surgical reconstruction after extraperitoneal or transperitoneal exposure
Peripheral Embolism
- Prophylaxis: controlled manipulation, perioperative heparin administration
- Management: radiological or vascular surgical intervention
Handling errors during implantation of the endoprosthesis
- Prophylaxis: Theoretical and practical exercises regarding the characteristics of the individual products (markings, release mechanism etc.)
- Management: Interventional correction, conversion
