Coil embolization of inferior epigastric artery pseudoaneurysm after percutaneous thrombin injection failure: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of a 71-year old woman with right inferior epigastric artery pseudoaneurysm following laceration by a computed tomography-guided 18G biopsy needle. The laceration was initially treated with placement of retained sutures; however the patient turned hemodynamically unstable 41 days later. Percutaneous ultrasound-guided injection of 1500 U of thrombin solution resulted in almost complete thrombosis of the pseudoaneurysm; however 24 hour control ultrasound revealed refilling of the pseudoaneurysm. Definite treatment was achieved by transcatheter coil embolization. Inferior epigastric artery pseudoaneurysm with underlying laceration may not respond to percutaneous thrombin injection, whereas coil embolization is shown to be effective.

Ultrasound-guided thrombin injection for the treatment of an iatrogenic hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm: a case report
INTRODUCTION Percutaneous transhepatic portal embolization is often performed to expand the indications for hepatic resection. Various etiologies of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm have been reported, but regardless of the etiology, hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is usually managed with an endovascular approach or open surgery, depending on the location and clinical symptomatology. However, it is ...
متن کاملTransluminal coil embolization of an inferior gluteal artery aneurysm by ultrasound-guided direct puncture of the target vessel.
Pseudoaneurysms of the inferior gluteal artery are rare. We describe a case of an inferior gluteal pseudoaneurysm that presented as a painful mass in the buttock. A percutaneous thrombin injection under ultrasound guidance failed to occlude the sac, probably due to the wide neck of the aneurysm. Subsequently, transluminal coil embolization by ultrasound-guided direct puncture of the inferior gl...
متن کاملUltrasound Guided Local Endovascular Coiling of an Iatrogenic Superficial Temporal Artery Pseudoaneurysm.
Pseudoaneurysms of the superficial temporal artery are rare and may be treated by manual compression, surgical intervention, coil embolization, or percutaneous thrombin injection. We present a novel technique of local ultrasound guided low-profile coil embolization of the superficial temporal artery with both satisfactory cosmetic and surgical results.
متن کاملPercutaneous Embolization of a Hepatic Artery Pseudoaneurysm under Combined Angiographic and Fluoroscopic Guidance
Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of liver directed procedures. Several strategies for treatment of pseudoaneurysms have been described. We describe a challenging case in which a small bleeding hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is complicated by a proximal hepatic arterial occlusion, preventing transcatheter access. The aneurysm was too small to be seen on ultrasound. Using combi...

Visceral pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon but serious complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis. It affects the splenic artery in 40% of cases [1]. Traditional treatment includes surgical excision or ligation and endovascular techniques [2, 3]. This article describes the first reported case of a large splenic artery pseudoaneurysm that was managed by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided thrombin...
