Ultrasound-guided thrombin injection for treatment of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm with concomitant AV-fistula - a retrospective single centre experience.

CONCLUSIONS: UGTI appears to be a treatment option in femoral PSA/AVF, at least under oral anticoagulation in small fistulas with enddiastolic arterial-flow-velocities ≤ 25 cm/sec. However, caution is necessary in larger AVFs, which should remain a contraindication for UGTI.
