Arteriovenous femoral fistula after insertion of leadless pacemaker—A case with an anomaly of the deep femoral artery

Arteriovenous femoral fistula after insertion of leadless pacemaker—A case with an anomaly of the deep femoral artery

Abstract With the increasing number of implanted leadless pacemakers, complications related to the implantation procedure are being reported. We herein report a case of an 87‐year‐old male with an arteriovenous fistula after leadless pacemaker implantation due to an anomaly of the right deep femoral...

Description
Summary:Abstract With the increasing number of implanted leadless pacemakers, complications related to the implantation procedure are being reported. We herein report a case of an 87‐year‐old male with an arteriovenous fistula after leadless pacemaker implantation due to an anomaly of the right deep femoral artery (DFA). In this present case, a right DFA arising from the antero‐medial side of the main femoral artery was attributed to this complication.
