Abstract
Fifteen iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms failed ultrasonography (US)-guid ed compression treatments. Despite concomitant antiplatelet or anticoagulat ion treatment, the 15 pseudoaneurysms were successfully and definitively tr eated without complication with US-guided thrombin injection. Results in th is preliminary study suggest US-guided thrombin injection is a safe, expedi tious, low-cost, and comfortable definitive treatment for femoral pseudoane urysms that has advantages over both US-guided compression and open surgica l repair.
