Abstract:
A case of coil embolization in right superior thyroid artery pseudoaneurysm by stab wound is reported. A fifty-six-year old female, laceration and some bulging in right neck side. Aortic arch angiography, right common carotid angiography was done. Angiography shows 4 2 cm sized right thyroid artery pseudoaneurysm (Fig. 1) and (Fig. 2). We selected right superior thyroid artery by 3F micorofert (CooK, Bloomington, Ind.) and embolized by 2 4 mm (diameter), 2 cm (length) sized micro tornaido coil (CooK, Bloomington, Ind.). Post procedure right common carotid angiography was done. Angiography shows no visualized right thyroid artery pseudoaneurysm (Fig. 3).
