Treatment options of crural pseudoaneurysms.

Conclusions: Crural PAs are mainly caused by vascular intervention, most frequently by catheter thrombectomy. As a consequence, we recommend fluoroscopic-assisted balloon thrombectomy over a guide wire as routine technique. In many cases of crural PAs, conservative management is sufficient. The choice of treatment of crural PAs depends on size, location and associated symptoms. Endovascular treatment using endografts is limited by poor long-term patency.
