Ultrasound-guided thrombin injection for treatment of iatrogenic femoral artery pseudoaneurysms compared with open surgery: first experiences from a single institution

摘要

The frequency of iatrogenic femoral artery pseudoaneurysm (FAP) diagnoses has recently increased due to the growing use of diagnostic and interventional procedures involving large diameter sheaths, as well as more potent anticoagulation procedures. In this study, we aimed to present our experience with ultrasound-guided thrombin injection (UGTI) in patients with iatrogenic FAP.
