Surgical repair of lower extremity vascular injuries in children: two cases.

ABSTRACT

The use of percutaneous devices is commonplace for the treatment of many congenital heart defects. However, there are some situations where procedure-related complications are encountered and surgical help is required to ameliorate this issue. Vascular injury due to transcatheter intervention is a significant and challenging complication and occasionally requires surgical approach. In this case report, we aimed to present successful surgical management of vascular injuries associated with percutaneous interventions in children.
