Ultrasound-guided thrombin injection for treatment of superficial traumatic pseudoaneurysms and associated expanding hematomas: experience in five patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 institutional review board approval. Outcomes following intervention were recorded and compared amongst the patient cohort. RESULTS Ultrasound-guided closure of traumatic pseudoaneurysms allowed for reduced procedural times and procedural invasiveness. CONCLUSIONS As demonstrated by the following cases, ultrasound guided thrombin injection is a good method of primary treatment for superficial pseudoaneurysms, or as an alternative treatment in cases where transcatheter embolization fails.

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...
متن کاملUltrasound 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...
متن کاملTraumatic axillary artery pseudoaneurysm treated with intravascular balloon occlusion and percutaneous thrombin injection.
Axillary artery pseudoaneurysms are relatively rare, with few reported cases found in the literature. Furthermore, treatment with percutaneous thrombin injection has not yet been reported. We report the case of a 59-year-old man with a large (10 cm) post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the left axillary artery found five weeks after a motorcycle crash. The patient sustained multiple injuries, inclu...

Objective: To evaluate the clinical course of patients treated for multiple perforations, complex femoral artery pseudoaneurysms. Methods: Seven patients with multiple perforations, complex pseudoaneurysms after femoral artery access for interventional procedures were treated. Ultrasound-guided thrombin injection (UGTI) was first used for treatment. Patients failing repeated UGTIs were treated ...
متن کاملUltrasound guided percutaneous thrombin injection for the treatment of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms
Iatrogenic aneurysms are usually postcatheterisation pseudoaneurysms of the femoral artery. Until recently, the treatment of choice was ultrasound guided compression repair. A case of pseudoaneurysm of the axillary artery, arising as a complication of pacemaker insertion in an 83 year old man is reported. Compression repair was not possible in this case, and so the aneurysm was occluded by perc...
