Abstract:
In 8 patients with pseudoaneurysms of the femoral artery, diagnosis and possible nonsurgical treatment is presented: After primary clinical diagnosis and color-Doppler or angiographic confirmation, aneurysms of less than 5 cm in diameter are treated by manual or color Doppler-supported compression. Within 9 to 36 min the lumen is occluded, remaining closed even in controls up to 12 months.
