Abstract:
The authors describe two clinical cases showing that Color Doppler Ultrasonography (US) examination is effective and sufficient in the presence of a clinical suspicion of pseudoaneurysm. In cases of iatrogenic damage and post-traumatic lesions, US provides an easy and accurate diagnosis depicting the location and the morphology of the false aneurysm. The patient can thus be referred to appropriate treatment without undergoing further diagnostic examinations. Moreover, regardless of the performed treatment, Color Doppler US is an efficient non-invasive diagnostic tool in the follow-up.
