Percutaneous occlusion of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm by para-aneurysmal saline injection.

The increasing number of coronary interventions and more aggressive anticoagulation is associated with a larger number of iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms (PAs). The majority of PAs clot spontaneously or can be repaired by ultrasound-guided compression or ultrasound-guided thrombin injection. The therapeutic armamentarium for the remaining PAs ranges from different interventional procedures to surgical occlusion.
