Abstract:
Objective To introduce the different therapeutic methods for the different types of traumatic pseudoaneurysms. Methods Traumatic pseudoaneurysm was treated in 8 patients. Intraarterial embolization was performed with gelfoam in 3 patients for terminal type. Endovascular covered stent graft was inserted in 2 patients with trunk type. One patient with branch type, we used metallic coils to embolize both broken ends. One patient with perforation in femoral artery was treated with compression. For 1 patient with huge haematoma and pseudoaneurysm, operation for elimination the haematoma was performed after embolization. Results Pseudo- aneurysm kept closed after treatment achieved in all 8 patients. Distal arterial pulse was normal in 2 patients treated with stent graft. A new pseudoaneurysm presented as a complication at puncture site in 1 patient due to other factors. There were no other symptomatic complications. Conclusions Pseudo- aneurysms can be treated effectively with interventional techniques instead of surgical operation.
