A novel minimally invasive method of successful tissue glue injection in patients with iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm.

Embolization of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm using tissue glue seems to be an effective technique for the treatment of this complication. It might be considered as a treatment option in case of unsuccessful primary repair by means of thrombin injection orhemorrhagic shock due to rapid aneurysm progression. Advances in knowledge: Patients with multiple recanalizations and those with dynamically enlarging pseudoaneurysm or rapidly progressing anemia are at risk of life-threatening bleeding. An ultrasound-guided tissue glue injection, a novel method for the treatment of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm, might be considered as a treatment option especially in case of primary thrombin injection failure.
