Abstract
Post-traumatic pseudoaneurysms are rare in the peripheral arteries and usually occur as a late sequel of trauma. Surgery has traditionally been considered as the gold standard of therapy for traumatic peripheral pseudoaneurysms. We report 2 cases of post traumatic pseudoaneurysms successfully treated by percutaneous cyanoacrylate glue (N-Butyl 2 cyanoacrylate) embolization. This method offers complete exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm, at the same time avoiding the morbidity of open surgery.Entities:
