Abstract

Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms are complications of percutaneous catheterizations. These injuries, which have traditionally been treated with surgical techniques, are now commonly treated with ultrasound-guided compression repair (UGCR). The indications, contraindications, technique, and results of treating pseudoaneurysms with UGCR are summarized in this review article.

Keywords:

Pseudoaneurysms - arterial injuries - ultrasound guidance - catheterization
