title: Ultrasound-guided thrombin injection of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm at a community hospital.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to report the success rate of treating pseudoaneurysm using ultrasound-guided thrombin injection at a community hospital. Over 16-month period, 42 patients with femoral artery pseudoaneurysms were treated using ultrasound-guided thrombin injection. Our results showed that ultrasound-guided thrombin injection has a high success rate, and can be safely performed at a community hospital.
