RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the method and clinical effect of ultrasound-guided thrombin injection in the treatment of femoral pseudoaneurysm.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2019, 71 patients in Gongren Hospital with femoral pseudoaneurysm were treated by ultrasound-guided thrombin injection. There were 55 cases of fistula type and 16 cases of fissure type. The maximum diameter of the cavity and the neck of pseudoaneurysm were measured and recorded. Two groups of patients were injected thrombin under ultrasound guidance (according to the shape of the pseudoaneurysm neck, different injection methods were used). The treatments for the first time and first recurrence of the two groups were treated with the corresponding conventional injection method. For the second fracture type of the second recurrence of the patients, the method of cross injection and gradual advance to the pseudoaneurysm neck was used for the third time, and the compression time was extended after the blood flow in the cavity disappeared. Ultrasound was performed at 24 hours and 1 week after operation to observe the blood flow and thrombosis.Results:In 55 patients with pseudoaneurysm of fistula type, 54 patients were treated successfully after once injected, pseudoaneurysm recurred in 1 patient relapsed by ultrasound 24 hours after operation, and the second injection was successful. In 16 patients with pseudoaneurysm of fissure type, 10 patients were successfully treated after once injection, 6 patients recurred 24 hours after operation, 4 patients were successfully treated after the second injection, and 2 patients after the third injection. There was no correlation between the recurrence of fistula pseudoaneurysm and the diameter of the pseudoaneurysm neck( r s=0.103, P=0.455), while the recurrence of fissure pseudoaneurysm was closely related to the diameter of the pseudoaneurysm neck( r s=0.870, P<0.001). Finally, all the patients achieved satisfactory curative effect, and the cure rate was 100%. Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided thrombin injection in the treatment of femoral pseudoaneurysm has a significant clinical effect. However it is necessary to determine the shape of the pseudoaneurysm neck and measure the diameter of the pseudoaneurysm neck before operation, so as to adopt a reasonable and effective injection method, to improve the success rate of the first treatment and reduce the recurrence.
