A novel minimally invasive method of successful tissue glue injection in patients with iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm.

CONCLUSION: Embolization of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm using tissue glue seems to be an effective technique for the treatment of this complication. It might be considered as a treatment option in case of unsuccessful primary repair by means of thrombin injection orhemorrhagic shock due to rapid aneurysm progression. Advances in knowledge: Patients with multiple recanalizations and those with dynamically enlarging pseudoaneurysm or rapidly progressing anaemia are at risk of life-threatening bleeding. An ultrasound-guided tissue glue injection, a novel method for the treatment of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm, might be considered as a treatment option especially in case of primary thrombin injection failure.
