Usefulness of transpedal intervention for inferior epigastric artery bleeding following catheter ablation: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular interventions may result in access-site complication, including inferior epigastric artery (IEA) bleeding. The IEA injury is generally treated through surgery and transcatheter embolization; however, additional complications should be avoided in the bailout procedure. Here, we present a case of catheter ablation complicated by IEA haemorrhage that we managed by transcatheter embolization using a transpedal intervention (TPI).

Case summary

A 58-year-old man underwent catheter ablation for symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Pulmonary vein isolation was performed uneventfully via catheterization of the right femoral artery and vein access. After the procedure, he complained of persistent abdominal pain and had a palpable mass in the lower righ
