title: Obliteration of femoral pseudoaneurysm complicating coronary intervention by direct puncture and permanent or removable coil insertion.
abstract: We report on percutaneous obliteration of femoral pseudoaneurysm complicating percutaneous coronary interventions in 6 patients. Our findings suggest that permanent or transient direct coil insertion may be an useful alternative in the treatment of pseudoaneurysm in patients who do not respond to mechanical compression.
