Posttraumatic Pseudoaneurysm in Scalp Treated by Direct Puncture Embolization Using N-Butyl-2-Cyanoacrylate: a Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here, we report a case of scalp pseudoaneurysm which was treated by direct puncture embolization using n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. The patient had a history of blunt trauma in the previous two months. Ultrasound-guided manual compression was initially attempted, but the results were unsatisfactory. Direct puncture embolization was then performed, and the pseudoaneurysm was completely obliterated. Non-surgical treatment options for pseudoaneurysm are briefly discussed.

Percutaneous Direct Embolization for Pseudoaneurysm at the Gallbladder Fossa after Cholecystectomy
Postoperative pseudoaneurysm at the gallbladder fossa is a rare complication of cholecystectomy. The typical clinical presentations of this condition are intraparenchymal or intraperitoneal hemorrhage or rupture into the gastrointestinal tract, and this may be life-threatening. For the treatment of pseudoaneurysms, percutaneous transarterial embolization is considered first-line. We present a c...

A 70-year-old male with advanced pancreatic cancer went into shock after sustaining a traumatic abdominal injury. Computed tomography (CT) showed a hematoma with extravasation around the pancreas and hemorrhagic ascites. After direct catheterization failed due to angiospasm, the ruptured splenic artery was successfully occluded by transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) using an N-butyl cyano...

We report 2 cases of traumatic arteriovenous fistulas in the neck treated with transarterial embolization with n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (n-BCA). In both cases, covered stent placement across the fistula to preserve the artery was not possible. Detachable coil placement was attempted in one case but was not successful. Both fistulas were successfully treated with n-BCA embolization. To our knowle...
متن کاملTransarterial balloon-assisted n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate embolization of direct carotid cavernous fistulas.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transarterial detachable balloon embolization of direct carotid cavernous fistulas (DCCFs) has become an optimal treatment. In a few cases, the parent artery has to be sacrificed to achieve morphologic cure. We present our experience with transarterial balloon-assisted n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (n-BCA) embolization of DCCFs in which there was failure to achieve angiographic...

We report on a rare case of blunt traumatic hepatic arteriovenous fistula arising from a pseudoaneurysm in a 35-year-old woman. Transarterial embolization was performed with n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, under inflow control with loose coil packing within the pseudoaneurysm and outflow control by balloon occlusion of the hepatic vein. A promising therapeutic outcome was achieved without any serious ...
