Abstract

To present a case in which thrombin was injected percutaneously to treat an aortic pseudoaneurysm. A 63-year-old man developed a large pseudoaneurysm in the abdominal aorta after surgical fenestration and patch aortoplasty for acute type B aortic dissection with malperfusion syndrome. Transcatheter delivery of 1500 units of thrombin resulted in complete thrombosis of the pseudoaneurysm sac. No complications occurred. Twelve months after the procedure, the pseudoaneurysm was completely resolved on computed tomography. Thrombin continues to prove its safety and efficacy for the treatment of pseudoaneurysms at numerous anatomical sites, including the abdominal aorta.

Aneurysm

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

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
