Jim, In June of this year JVU published a paper called "Selective Use of Duplex Ultrasound After Successful Thrombin Injection of Pseudoaneurysms." It contains info on the duplex guided thrombin injections that may help you. Sincerely, Chris Chris D.

He wants us to go back to compression of pseudoaneurysms. My technical director asked me to see if I could get some comments on this issue from other vascular labs. I would greatly appreciate the group's input. Also was there a poll on compression vs injection? If so, how can I access it. Many thanks! Fraternally, James M.
