Effect of ultrasound guided thrombin injection for treatment of femoral arterial pseudoaneurysm / 中国介入心脏病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous thrombin injection for the treatment of postcatheterization femoral arterial pseudoaneurysm.Methods Seventy-eight patients with femoral anterial pseudoaneurysm were included in this study.Pseudoaneurysms were treated by bedside compression in 50 of these 78 patients(group A),and by thrombin injection in 28 patients(group B).All patients were diagnosed by GE LOGIQ 9 Color Doppler Ultrasound.Ultrasound guided thrombin injection for femoral arterial pseudoaneurysme were carried out in patients in group B.Results Closure of the pseudoaneurysm was successfully in 82 percent(41/50) of the patients in group A.Six patients had vagus reflex,4 patients could not tolerate repeating compression and 5 patients were not effectively cured by compression and needed to receive remedial ultrasound-guided percutaneous thrombin injection.Closure of the pssudoareurysm by percutaneous thrombin injection was successful in all patients in group B.Successful immediate closure were noted in 25 patients and 2 patients needed second thrombin injection.One patient had vasovagal syncope and 12 patients had mild fever.No distal embolization,infection,hemorrhage or allergic reaction occurred.Conclusion Compared to compression therapy for treatment of femoral arterial pseudoaneurysme,ultrasound-guided percutaneous thrombin injection is a simple,safe and effective treatment alternative.
