[US-guided glue injection in the treatment of femoral pseudoaneurysms].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy of US-guided glue injection in the treatment of femoral pseudoaneurysms.


METHODS
In 13 patients, 14 femoral pseudoaneurysms were embolized with direct percutaneous glue injection with ultrasonographic guidance. We compressed the aneurysm neck during glue injection to prevent distal embolization.


RESULTS
All of the patients were treated successfully. In each patient, complete occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm was achieved without complication. The procedure time varied between 5 and 20 minutes.


CONCLUSIONS
Direct percutaneous glue injection with ultrasonographic guidance is an effective and easy method in the treatment of pseudoaneurysms.
