(ISI) BECAME AWARE OF A JOURNAL OF ULTRASOUND ARTICLE TITLED, ¿INFERIOR EPIGASTRIC ARTERY PSEUDOANEURYSM SECONDARY TO PORT PLACEMENT DURING A ROBOT-ASSISTED LAPAROSCOPIC RADICAL CYSTECTOMY.¿ PER THE CLINICAL ARTICLE, DURING A DA VINCI-ASSISTED RADICAL CYSTECTOMY WITH BRICKER URETEROILEOCUTANEOSTOMY AND EXTENDED PELVIC LYMPH NODE DISSECTION, THE PATIENT DEVELOPED AN INFERIOR EPIGASTRIC ARTERY (IEA) PSEUDOANEURYSM SECONDARY TO AN 8-MILLIMETER (MM) PORT PLACEMENT. THE PRE-OPERATIVE COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) SCAN SHOWED NO LYMPHOADENOMEGALY AND BILATERAL HYDRONEPHROSIS, AND NO OTHER LOCALIZATION THAN THE BLADDER. THE PSEUDOANEURYSM WAS INITIALLY DIAGNOSED POST-OPERATIVELY BY CONTRAST-ENHANCED ULTRASOUND (CEUS); SUBSEQUENTLY, A CT SCAN AND AN ANGIOGRAPHY TEST WERE PERFORMED. THE PSEUDOANEURYSM WAS THEN TREATED SUCCESSFULLY WITH COIL EMBOLIZATION OF THE INFERIOR EPIGASTRIC ARTERY. NO COMPLICATIONS OCCURRED DURING OR AFTER THE EMBOLIZATION PROCEDURE. ON 03-JUN-2020, IS OBTAINED THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE CLINICAL ARTICLE REGARDING THIS EVENT: \"THERE WAS NO MALFUNCTION OF THE DA VINCI SYSTEM, THIS COMPLICATION CAN OCCUR DURING PORT PLACEMENT, DUE TO THE ANATOMY VARIATIONS THAT ARE QUITE COMMON FOR THE INFERIOR EPIGASTRIC ARTERY, FOR THESE REASONS NO CLAIM OR ALLEGATION WAS REPORTED. MOREOVER, DIAGNOSIS WAS MADE SEVERAL DAYS AFTER SURGERY.¿ ON 03-JUL-2020, THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS OBTAINED FROM THE ARTICLE AUTHOR: \"IN THIS CASE THE PSEUDOANEURYSM OF THE INFERIOR EPIGASTRIC ARTERY, WHICH COURSE QUITE OFTEN VARIES, WAS DUE TO A LAPAROSCOPIC TROCAR INSERTION DURING A ROBOTIC PROCEDURE, BUT NOT DUE TO A DA VINCI TROCAR. FURTHERMORE, THE COMPLICATION APPEARED AND EVOLVED SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE PATIENT DISCHARGE (AROUND 10 DAYS AFTER). THE COMPLICATION WAS SUCCESSFULLY TREATED WITH A RADIOLOGICAL EMBOLIZATION OF THE ARTERY AND THE PATIENT ACTUALLY HAS A EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE STATUS AND NO MORE PAIN OR SYMPTOMS OF THE PSEUNOANEURYSM." } ], "number_patients_in_event": "", "distributor_name": "", "manufacturer_g1_address_1": "3410 CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY", "distributor_zip_code": "", "manufacturer_contact_postal_code": "", "manufacturer_contact_exchange": "408", "manufacturer_contact_pcountry": "", "suppl_dates_fda_received": "" } ] }
