Postpyelolithotomy Renal Artery Pseudoaneurysm Management with Percutaneous Thrombin Injection: A Case Report

Minimally invasive image-guided interventional management of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms

“…Thromboembolism and allergic reactions are also not uncommon. 20 PVA is a very effective material for use with large lumen catheters but does not somehow achieve complete permanent occlusion of the small vessels and pseudoaneurysms. We also used it sparingly in only one patient who had a leaking pseudoaneurysm along with adjacent small vascular trauma induced by the heat generated due to radiofrequency waves.…”

“…Percutaneous thrombin injection for treatment of visceral, 18,19 renal 20 and extremity pseudoaneurysms has been used.…”

Renal artery pseudoaneurysm: an unexpected mode of closure during coil embolisation

“…Clinical symptoms, aneurysm size and renal impairment are the indications for treatment in pseudoaneurysm 2. The non-surgical treatment options for renal artery pseudoaneurysm include angiographic embolisation3 and percutaneous thrombin injection 4. In the present report, pseudoaneurysm had closed due to probable spasm and thrombosis (hardware-induced) during attempted coil embolisation.…”

Emergency ultrasound-guided percutaneous embolization of post-traumatic bleeding hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms

“…The embolizing agents that have been used for occlusion include ethanol, gel foam particles, microcoils, NBCA glue, polyvinyl acetate (PVA) particles, thrombin, (8,9) arterial stents (10) and detachable silicone balloons. Percutaneous thrombin injection for treatment of visceral (11), renal (12) and extremity pseudoaneurysms has been in use since 1986 (13). However, potential complications in the form of thromboembolism and allergic reactions limit its widespread use.…”
