  • Title: Pseudoaneurysm of the inferior epigastric artery successfully treated by ultrasound-guided compression.
    Author: Takase K, Kazama T, Abe K, Chiba Y, Saito H, Takahashi S.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2004; 27(5):520-2. PubMed ID: 15383859.
    Abstract:
    An 82-year-old woman underwent right hemicolectomy by median laparotomy. Two weeks later, a pulsatile mass was found at the left side of the surgical wound, which was diagnosed as pseudoaneurysm of the inferior epigastric artery by color Doppler US and CT. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated by US-guided compression of the neck of the aneurysm for 30 minutes. US-guided compression should be considered the treatment of choice for postsurgical pseudoaneurysm of the inferior epigastric artery.
