lüll Pseudoaneurysms and the role of minimally invasive techniques in their management Saad NE; Saad WE; Davies MG; Waldman DL; Fultz PJ; Rubens DJRadiographics 2005[Oct]; 25 Suppl 1 (ä): S173-89Pseudoaneurysms are common vascular abnormalities that represent a disruption in arterial wall continuity. Some complications associated with pseudoaneurysms develop unpredictably and carry high morbidity and mortality rates. The advent of new radiologic techniques with a greater sensitivity for asymptomatic disease has allowed more frequent diagnosis of pseudoaneurysms. Conventional angiography remains the standard of reference for diagnosis but is an invasive procedure, and noninvasive diagnostic modalities (eg, ultrasonography [US], computed tomographic angiography, magnetic resonance angiography) should be included in the initial work-up if possible. A complete work-up will help in determining the cause, location, morphologic features, rupture risk, and clinical setting of the pseudoaneurysm; identifying any patient comorbidities; and evaluating surrounding structures and relevant vascular anatomy, information that is essential for treatment planning. Therapeutic options have evolved in recent years from the traditional surgical option toward a less invasive approach and include radiologic procedures such as US-guided compression, US-guided percutaneous thrombin injection, and endovascular management (embolization, stent-graft placement). The use of noninvasive treatment has led to a marked decrease in the morbidity and mortality rates for pseudoaneurysms.|Adult[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Algorithms[MESH]|Aneurysm, False/*diagnosis/*therapy[MESH]|Angiography[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Tomography, X-Ray Computed[MESH]|Ultrasonography, Doppler[MESH] |
