Our experience in the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral pseudoaneurysms

[Our experience in the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral pseudoaneurysms].

OBJECTIVE To present our experience in the diagnosis and intravascular treatment of cerebral pseudoaneurysms. MATERIAL AND METHODS We present 11 pseudoaneurysms (2 traumatic, 2 mycotic, 3 iatrogenic, and 4 with other causes).

[Percutaneous thrombin injection for closure of femoral pseudoaneurysms: preliminary experience].

An arterial pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon complication of cardiovascular procedures associated with considerable morbidity and increased hospital costs. Percutaneous thrombin injection is one approach to therapy. We describe our initial experience with this technique in 3 patients, with special attention to the utility of sonographic guidance. In all cases complete closure was achieved, althoug...

Treatment of femoral pseudoaneurysms with endograft in high-risk patients.

INTRODUCTION Anastomotic aneurysms are a late complication after arterial reconstruction. Current treatment usually consists of open repair but we describe our experience with endovascular repair of femoral pseudoaneurysms. REPORT Six patients with seven femoral pseudoaneurysms were treated with percutaneously inserted endografts. Control angiography confirmed immediate technical success in a...

Ultrasound-guided thrombin injection for treatment of superficial traumatic pseudoaneurysms and associated expanding hematomas: experience in five patients

BACKGROUND Angiography allows for excellent characterization and treatment of traumatic pseudoaneurysms. However, ultrasound-guided thrombin injection for pseudoaneurysm thrombosis allows for radiation-free treatment of superficial pseudoaneurysms and superficial expanding hematomas. METHODS A retrospective review of 5 patient cases treated under this paradigm was performed following institut...
