  • Title: Percutaneous duplex-guided thrombin injection for treatment of iatrogenic femoral artery pseudoaneurysms.
    Author: Vermeulen EG, Umans U, Rijbroek A, Rauwerda JA.
    Journal: Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg; 2000 Sep; 20(3):302-4. PubMed ID: 10986031.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: to evaluate the feasibility of treatment of post-catheterisation pseudoaneurysms with duplex-guided thrombin injection. TECHNIQUE: the technique of duplex-guided injection of thrombin in post-catheterisation pseudoaneurysms of the femoral artery is described and illustrated. RESULTS: between December 1998 and October 1999, eight post-catheterisation pseudoaneurysms of the femoral artery were successfully thrombosed with thrombin injection. One patient developed a new pseudoaneurysm within 6 hours and this was also successfully treated with thrombin. Follow-up duplex-scanning at 3 months revealed no recurrences. No other adverse events occurred. CONCLUSIONS: this initial experience suggests that duplex-guided thrombin injection in the treatment of post-catheterisation pseudo-aneurysms is feasible and safe.
