Post-catheterization pseudoaneurysm in a one-year-old child treated by ultrasound-guided human thrombin injection.
We report a successful treatment of iatrogenic post-catheterization pseudoaneurysm of the right common femoral artery in a one-year-old boy with ultrasound-guided percutaneous injection of human thrombin under general anesthesia. Physical examination after 2 months follow-up showed complete disappearance of the pulsating lump.
