  • Title: Treatment of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm with percutaneous thrombin injection.
    Author: Samal AK, White CJ, Collins TJ, Ramee SR, Jenkins JS.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2001 Jun; 53(2):259-63. PubMed ID: 11387617.
    Abstract:
    Pseudoaneurysm formation of the femoral artery is a well-known complication following catheter-based vascular procedures. Ultrasound-guided compression or surgical correction are commonly used for its repair. We describe a new method of treatment for femoral pseudoaneurysm. The pseudoaneurysm is visualized by contralateral angiography and thrombosed with a percutaneous thrombin injection while the distal vessel is isolated with a brief balloon inflation. Fluoroscopically guided percutaneous thrombin injection is a promising, minimally invasive technique for the treatment of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm, especially in patients with compromised distal circulation.
