Abstract

Interventional radiology has an increasing spectrum of indications, in particular, for vascular medical problems. By Seldinger's puncture via the right femoral artery, an aneurysm of the right common iliac artery stump was sufficiently excluded with coil embolization. As a complication, an iatrogenic bleeding at the aneurysmatic neck was effectively stopped after the first interventional step with injection of an occlusion emulsion according to the bleeding site. Image-guided interventional measures in radiology allow a minimal invasive approach in a former classical field of vascular surgery. Furthermore, procedure-related complications can be increasingly controlled.
