Femoral artery thrombosis after percutaneous thrombin injection of an external iliac artery pseudoaneurysm

Journal of Vascular Surgery
T L Forbes, S F Millward

Abstract

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous thrombin injection has been developed as a less invasive and highly successful treatment of iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms. Most of these lesions have been the result of catheterization procedures. This method has proved to be highly effective, and few complications have been reported. Specifically, native arterial thrombosis, although recognized as a severe complication, has been mentioned only briefly in the literature. We present a case of the successful management of native arterial thrombosis after attempted percutaneous thrombin injection of a chronic external iliac artery pseudoaneurysm. This case serves to illustrate the risk factors for this complication and the treatment options once it occurs. The success of this treatment with acute iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms may not necessarily translate into similar success in other anatomic locations and clinical situations.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
