There should be no period of compression following successful thrombin injection. You inject the thrombin, observe thrombosis of the pseduo, exclude a thrombotic complication of the artery and you're done.Compression might theoretically increase the risk of arterial thrombosis or embolization but there is simply no need for it.David Fox, MD, FACS, RPVI1041 Third AvenueSuite 200New York, NY 10065To unsubscribe or search other topics on UVM Flownet link to: http://list.uvm.edu/archives/uvmflownet.htmlBill:I am no expert on this either. The one case I scanned while the MD injected required no compression. The doc was not concerned about compression here.Andy Bebry, RVTTo unsubscribe or search other topics on UVM Flownet link to: http://list.uvm.edu/archives/uvmflownet.htmlTo unsubscribe or search other topics on UVM Flownet link to: http://list.uvm.edu/archives/uvmflownet.htmlGreetings all, I was asked a question I don’t know the answer to which got me thinking about it and so I ask the great resource of Flownet. I left the hospital soon after thrombin injection for pseudoaneurysm was coming into favor so have limited personal experience. Is there a specified time to apply compression following injection? In my experience, thrombosis is immediate.
Any feedback personal or reference would be appreciated
Thanks much.
