Summary:ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of ultrasound‐guided percutaneous thrombin injection for the treatment of postcatheterization arterial pseudoaneurysms. We evaluated retrospectively 82 consecutive subjects treated with percutaneous ultrasound‐guided thrombin injection of postcatheterization femoral (n = 79), brachial (n = 2), and radial (n = 1) pseudoaneurysms from January 2006 to April 2012. Pseudoaneurysm size, thrombin dose, and therapy outcome were documented. All pseudoaneurysm sacs were thrombosed with a single injection. The overall primary success rate (complete sac thrombosis) was 92.7%. A 30‐day Doppler ultrasound follow‐up showed a 100% procedural success. There were no complications. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 42:24–26, 2014
