Aldo Victor Giordano et al. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2017 May.

Abstract

We describe the management of a complication (a lumbar artery pseudoaneurysm and its rupture) after combined procedure (cryoablation and vertebroplasty) on a lumbar (L2) metastasis from renal cell carcinoma. Review of the literature is also presented with discussion about the measures to be taken to prevent these types of complications.

Keywords: Hemorrhagic complication; Interventional radiology complication; Lumbar artery pseudoaneurysm; Percutaneous cryoablation; Vertebroplasty.
