Arterial vascular access complication in osteogenesis imperfecta.
We present a case of the catastrophic bleeding from the femoral access site after an uncomplicated puncture in a patient with Type 1 osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) undergoing coronary angiogram via the femoral route. This had to be treated with a covered stent at the puncture site. This is an extremely rare complication in OI. The potential pathological mechanisms of this complication are discussed. An interventionist will rarely encounter such a patient in the catheterisation laboratory but would do well to be aware of this potential complication.
