[Non surgical reduction of false aneurysms of the femoral artery with echo-Doppler control].
The authors report four cases of repair of femoral pseudoaneurysms under pulsed (1 case) and colour Doppler (3 cases) guidance, performed between January and October 1992 and compare the results with previously published reports of this new technique. They obtained 3 complete successes without complications and 1 failure with complications and a contraindication to the method. A review of the literature and the personal experience of the authors are described. This effective and usually complication-free technique should be proposed as an alternative to surgery. It should be undertaken as early as possible and remains a long and fastidious procedure poorly adapted to present nomenclature of medical procedures. It should be systematically proposed in cases of pseudo-aneurysms complicating the implantation of endoarterial prostheses.
