Summary

Duplex-guided compression therapy (DGCT) is an effective primary treatment for postcatheterization pseudoaneurysms in stable patients. This minimally invasive approach offers a high success rate, comparable to surgery, making it suitable for community hospitals.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Postcatheterization pseudoaneurysms are a known complication of arterial procedures.
  • Surgical treatment has been the traditional approach for pseudoaneurysms.
  • Duplex-guided compression therapy (DGCT) has shown promise in university settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and applicability of DGCT in a community hospital setting.
  • To compare DGCT outcomes with historical surgical treatment data.
  • To identify factors influencing DGCT success or failure.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 63 symptomatic pseudoaneurysms in 62 patients from 1990-1993.
  • DGCT was implemented as primary treatment after October 1991, with surgery reserved for failures.

  • Patient characteristics, pseudoaneurysm size, and procedure type were analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • DGCT achieved an initial success rate of 75% (27/36 patients), with a cumulative success of 67% (24/36) after recurrences.
    • Failure was more likely in pseudoaneurysms associated with intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) and potentially larger pseudoaneurysms.
    • Patient intolerance accounted for 3 of 12 DGCT failures; anticoagulation and other factors did not predict outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • DGCT is a generally successful and appropriate primary treatment for symptomatic postcatheterization pseudoaneurysms in stable patients.
    • The technique is applicable and effective in a community hospital setting.
    • Surgery remains an option for DGCT failures or unstable patients.
