Objective:
Our objective was to describe the development of nonobstructive, localized intraarterial thrombi after percutaneous injection of thrombin into femoral pseudoaneurysms.
Conclusion:
Partial extension of thrombi into the arterial lumen may occur after injection of thrombin into small pseudoaneurysms with short necks. In our experience, this is an asymptomatic and self-limited complication of the procedure.
