Article Title: Pyoderma gangrenosum: a new complication after groin exposure for attempted endovascular aortic stent-graft placement.
Abstract: Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an uncommon and frequently misdiagnosed inflammatory dermatosis. This neutrophilic inflammation of the dermis has been well described in relation to other inflammatory illnesses (i.e. inflammatory bowel disease). Although rare, PG is increasingly described in relation to trauma or surgical interventions. It is important for vascular surgeons to be aware of the potential development of PG at vascular access sites. Although endovascular surgery is a minimally invasive form of vascular surgery, it does require cutaneous manipulation, which can incite PG. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of PG that developed after an attempted endovascular surgery and to elucidate this rare dermatologic disorder's diagnosis and treatment.
