Clinical application of color Doppler ultrasound-guided compression and injection treatment of postangiographic pseudoaneurysms / 中华超声影像学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the methods and evaluate their efficacy of pseudoaneurysms by color Doppler ultrasound guided compression and injection treatment.Methods Twenty patients with seventeen femoral artery pseudoaneurysms and three subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms underwent compression and injection treatment with color Doppler ultrasound guided.Results Simple compression method presented a successful rate of 86%(12 out of 14 patients).Two with subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms were injected with medical OB glue,as a result,one had a hard knot in the lesion after treatment,the other was thrombosed in the remote artery.Thrombin injection achieved the rate of success 100%, 4 in 4 patients.Conclusions Color Doppler ultrasound guided compression and thrombin injection is a simple,safe and effective method for the treatment of postangiographic pseudoaneurysms,but medical OB glue injection may bring about complications.
