Article Synopsis
- * Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with Rutherford stages 4, 5, and 6, examining factors like lesion complexity and amputation rates while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team for complex cases.
- * Results: The study involved 829 limbs, revealing a one-year mortality rate of 6.2%, major amputation rate of 2.3%, and a 78.7% success rate for clinically driven target lesion revascularization, indicating the efficacy of newer stent technologies in reducing the need for reinterventions.
Intrapelvic acetabular screw placement is a known complication of total hip arthroplasty and is associated with risks including damage to neurovascular and intrapelvic structures such as the external iliac vessels, obturator vessels, and iliopsoas muscles. Retrieval of intrapelvic acetabular screws is similarly fraught with risk, and appropriate imaging should be performed preoperatively. We report on a case of intrapelvic acetabular screw placement with abutment of the external iliac vein, which was managed with intraoperative venogram and intravenous ultrasound to maintain access to the external iliac vein and successfully show no vascular tear before and after screw removal.
