Ultrasound-guided transvaginal thrombin injection of uterine arteries pseudoaneurysms

Percutaneous ultrasound-guided thrombin injection for the treatment of pseudoaneurysms.

Ultrasound-guided thrombin injection for the treatment of postcatheterization pseudoaneurysms.

BACKGROUND This prospective study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of using bovine thrombin injection to treat pseudoaneurysms. METHODS AND RESULTS From April 1998 through December 1999, 70 pseudoaneurysm were injected with bovine thrombin under the guidance of color duplex ultrasound. The most superficial pseudoaneurysm chamber was entered with a 1.5-inch, 19- to 22-gauge or sp...

Transvaginal Ultrasound-guided Thrombin Injection for the Treatment of Secondary Postpartum Hemorrhage Caused by a Pseudoaneurysm of the Uterine Artery

Postpartum hemorrhage is the most important cause of maternal death worldwide, and the most important cause of maternal morbidity in The Netherlands [1]. Postpartum hemorrhage can be differentiated into a primary (early) hemorrhage and secondary (late) hemorrhage. Primary postpartum hemorrhage develops in the first 24 hours postpartum and is usually caused by one of ‘the four T’s’: Tonus (uteri...

US-guided percutaneous thrombin injection of postcatheterization pseudoaneurysms.

PURPOSE This study retrospectively evaluated ultrasonography-guided (US-guided) percutaneous thrombin injection for the treatment of postcatheterization femoral and brachial artery pseudoaneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-five patients with postcatheterization femoral artery (n = 53) or brachial artery (n = 2) pseudoaneurysms were treated using US-guided human thrombin (500 IU/mL) injecti...

Ultrasound guided percutaneous thrombin injection of iatrogenic femoral artery pseudoaneurysms after coronary angiography and intervention.

Ultrasound guided percutaneous thrombin injection has recently been described for the treatment of iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms. Patient selection and technical aspects of this technique are still evolving and safety data, particularly after coronary intervention, remains limited. The percutaneous thrombin injection of femoral artery pseudoaneurysms in 13 consecutive patients, most of who...
