“…The usefulness of duplex ultrasound is already reported, 11 – 13 and the combinational use of duplex ultrasound and MRI was found to be effective for diagnosis in this study. By demonstrating a “swirling” pattern of blood flow and communication with the vein, as well as the presence of a thrombus, these procedures are diagnostically useful for venous aneurysm.…”

“…Magnetic resonance imaging is also useful for identifying the connections between VP and adjacent vascular structures and can provide a precise diagnosis without contrast enhancement. 14 – 16 , 12 , 13 The imaging modalities can also exclude possible interfering abnormalities such as soft tissue tumors, hematoma, and vascular-related anomalies. 10 , 13 …”

Iatrogenic venous pseudoaneurysm (VP) formation after venipuncture is rare. This report showed 2 cases of VP following venipuncture, and VPs were resected surgically. A 58-year-old woman and a 56-year-old woman developed a soft antecubital mass after blood sampling from the basilic veins. One patient had the sensory disturbance of forearm. The mass was diagnosed as a VP with thrombus by duplex ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. The aneurysm was resected completely, and the sensory disturbance of the patient was improved. Surgical resection was the most appropriate treatment for the relief of symptoms due to compression.

The differential diagnosis of a lateral neck mass includes a number of possible etiologies. While jugular venous aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are rare entities, they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a pulsatile lateral neck mass. We present a case of an idiopathic jugular venous pseudoaneurysm and its association with worsening tricuspid regurgitation in a patient with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

“…Diagnostic imaging is required to rule out subcutaneous neoplastic disease, hematoma, or vascular-related anomalies, which include arteriovenous fistulae. 3,10 Although B-mode ultrasonography, venography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging/magnetic resonance angiography have all been important diagnostic tools used in previously reported cases of venous pseudoaneurysm, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] color-flow duplex ultrasonography allows adequate evaluation of the anatomy and flow physiology in a noninvasive fashion. 4,5,11 The characteristic duplex findings of lowpressure blood swirls, compressible venous anatomy, and a cavity-filling feeding branch confirmed the diagnosis and facilitated operative planning.…”

Iatrogenic Venous Pseudoaneurysm: Case Report And Review Of The Literature

et al. 2009

Iatrogenic venous pseudoaneurysm following venipuncture is an extremely rare complication of a very common medical procedure. A review of the vascular surgical literature revealed that only two cases of venous pseudoaneurysm secondary to venipuncture have been reported in the past half-century. We report the case of a 64-year-old anticoagulated male with a 7-month history of right arm swelling after venipuncture. The patient, on warfarin therapy for chronic atrial fibrillation, described progressive swelling at a previous venipuncture site. He eventually underwent limited two-dimensional ultrasonography, performed for a suspected hematoma, revealing a 4.3 x 3.3 x 2.0 cm pseudoaneurysm of the right basilic vein. These findings were later confirmed by a formal venous duplex sonogram. Similar to other forms of aneurysm and focal vascular dilation, the risks of venous psuedoaneurysm include embolism, thrombosis, and the compression of adjacent structures. Although both thrombin injection and coil embolization have been described as nonsurgical treatment options for arterial pseudoaneurysms, surgical resection may be the most appropriate approach for those with a venous equivalent. The segment of basilic vein containing the pseudoaneurysm was resected. This case demonstrates the need for physicians to consider venous pseudoaneurysm as a possible complication of venipuncture in individuals undergoing anticoagulation therapy.

Superficial Venous Aneurysm

Abstract: Venous aneurysm should be included in the differential diagnosis of a subcutaneous mass, and an accurate understanding of the differences between superficial and deep venous aneurysms may help in diagnosis and treatment.
