“…For these reasons it is important to diagnose and treat these cases. Rupture6 and infection5 may also complicate cases. In the former, bleeding may be life-threatening and requires urgent surgical intervention, as in this case.…”

An 85-year-old man presented to A&E department with a bleeding, pulsatile mass within the left antecubital fossa. He reported a 3-month history of an increasing, painless swelling. He had a history of end-stage renal failure secondary to antiglomerular basement membrane disease. 14 years prior, he had a left brachiocephalic fistula created, which was ligated shortly after its creation due to Steal syndrome. Examination revealed a 10×15×10 cm pulsatile, non-tender mass with overlying ulceration in the left antecubital fossa. Arterial duplex demonstrated a pseudoaneurysm arising from the left distal brachial artery with a 9 mm neck. The patient underwent surgical exploration and repair. At surgery, a large brachial artery pseudoaneurysm at the site of the previous fistula ligation was found. The overlying ulcerated skin and pseudoaneurysm were excised en mass, and the arterial defect repaired by transection and end-to-end anastomosis. This is the first reported case of a brachial artery pseudoaneurysm occurring following arteriovenous fistula ligation.

“…Improper puncture or use of large-diameter sheaths also contribute to the development of FPA [2] . PA may cause a variety of problems such as infection, oppression to surrounding tissues and serious hemorrhage in some cases [3] . The treatment of the condition has been a challenge for clinicians.…”

“…Four cases (3 females and 1 male) were treated with ultrasound-guided oppression at the site of PA cervix (oppression group), while the remaining 7 cases (5 females and 2 males) received ultrasound-guided thrombin injection (injection group). Criteria for success included: (1) Blood flow signals vanish in PA lumen; (2) the lumen is filled with zonal substance or full of low-echo homogeneous substance as revealed by ultrasound; (3) No relapse and Qinghai YAO, male, born in 1972, Doctor in Charge E-mail: yaoqinghai1972@126.com thrombus are found in distal end of femoral artery; (4) There are no infection and allergic response. Informed consents about the participation in the study were obtained from all the patients.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency and safety of ultrasound-guided thrombin injection on femoral pseudoaneurysm (FPA) as compared to ultrasound-guided local oppression. Eleven cases of FPA were enrolled and 7 cases received ultrasound-guide thrombin injection (injection group), and the remaining 4 cases were treated with local oppression (oppression group). Efficiency and safety were analyzed by ultrasound and subsequent follow-up. The results showed that 1 case relapsed in oppression group while no relapse occurred in thrombin injection group. Ultrasound-guided thrombin injection is better for treatment of FPA in terms of effectiveness and safety.
