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

Subject: A real oldie: thrombin
injection vs. compression for pseudoaneurysm
I know this subject has been kicked
around a lot, but we recently got a new Medical Director who says that thrombin
injection is not the standard of care. 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
