ABSTRACT

Iatrogenic femoral artery pseudoaneurysm (IFP) is a tedious complication of percutanous coronary and peripheral interventionswhich prolong the in-hospital stay. It's overall incidence may increases to 8% in the therapeutic complex procedures. Surgical correction is a traditional approach which is still preferred as a first resort in the many cardiovascular centers in the Turkey. Herein, we aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of percutaneous closure of IFP with thrombin injection.
