False Aneurysm Treatment in Turkey
About False Aneurysm
Key Highlights
-
Minimally invasive procedure with no major surgical incision.Performed under local anesthesia, minimizing patient discomfort.High success rate (over 90%) for suitable pseudoaneurysms.Ultrasound guidance ensures precise, targeted treatment.Typically an outpatient procedure with same-day discharge.Lower risk of infection and faster recovery compared to open surgery.liIdeal for patients with complex bleeding histories or coagulation disorders./li/ul
Who is this surgery for?
- Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm following arterial catheterization (e.g., cardiac angiogram, arterial line).
- Pseudoaneurysm in patients with bleeding disorders (e.g., hemophilia) or on anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy.
- Symptomatic pseudoaneurysm causing pain, pulsatile mass, nerve compression, or skin compromise.
- Enlarging pseudoaneurysm detected on follow-up ultrasound.
- Pseudoaneurysm not resolving with conservative management like ultrasound-guided compression.
- As an alternative to surgical repair in high-risk surgical patients.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive review of medical history, especially bleeding disorders and current medications (anticoagulants, antiplatelets).
- Detailed Doppler ultrasound to map the pseudoaneurysm's size, neck, and blood flow characteristics.
- Blood tests including complete blood count (CBC), coagulation profile (PT/INR, aPTT), and blood grouping.
- Patient counseling about the procedure, benefits, and potential risks.
- Fasting for 4-6 hours prior to the procedure if sedation is planned.
- Adjustment or temporary hold of anticoagulant medications as per hematologist's guidance.
- Obtaining informed consent for the thrombin injection procedure.
Risks & possible complications
- Allergic reaction to thrombin or local anesthetic (rare).
- Distal thromboembolism, where clot material travels downstream, potentially blocking smaller arteries.
- Infection at the injection site.
- Recurrence of the pseudoaneurysm if not completely thrombosed.
- Vasovagal reaction during the procedure.
- Bleeding or hematoma at the puncture site.
- Accidental injection into the native artery, which could cause acute arterial thrombosis (very rare with ultrasound guidance).
Recovery & hospital stay
- Immediate post-procedure monitoring for 2-4 hours to check vital signs and the injection site.
- A pressure dressing is applied to the site, which should be kept clean and dry.
- Mild pain or bruising at the site is common and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers (if not contraindicated).
- A follow-up Doppler ultrasound is typically scheduled within 24-48 hours to confirm complete thrombosis of the pseudoaneurysm.
- Avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, or vigorous exercise for 5-7 days.
- Resumption of regular medications, including anticoagulants, as specifically directed by the hematologist.
- Report any signs of infection (redness, warmth, discharge), increased pain, or recurrence of a pulsating lump immediately.
-
Typical hospital stay:
0-1 days (typically outpatient)
-
Expected recovery time:
3-7 days

Ananya Johnson, a 32-year-old graphic designer...
Ananya Johnson, a 32-year-old graphic designer and new mother, was diagnosed with Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) after experiencing easy bruising. She received a steroid course, but her platelet count remained dangerously low. During a routine blood draw for monitoring, a hematoma formed at the puncture site in her arm that didn't resolve and began to swell and throb. Her hematologist, Dr. Rodriguez, identified it as an iatrogenic brachial artery false aneurysm. Given her fragile platelets, surgical repair was high-risk. Dr. Rodriguez recommended ultrasound-guided compression therapy, using the probe to manually compress the aneurysm neck until it clots. Ananya was anxious about her arm and her ability to care for her baby. The 30-minute compression was uncomfortable but painless. She had to keep her arm immobile for 24 hours. The aneurysm successfully thrombosed. Her ITP was later managed with a different medication. Ananya's emotional journey shifted from feeling like her body was failing her to empowered resilience, trusting her medical team's gentle approach.
