Three patients with clinically suspected pseudoaneurysm as a complication of femoral puncture were referred for ultrasound (US) evaluation with both conventional duplex Doppler US and color Doppler imaging. Pseudoaneurysm (n = 2) and simple hematoma (n = 2) were depicted with both Doppler systems, and a separate pseudoaneurysm and a hematoma were found in one patient. These diagnoses were confirmed surgically. Distinctive Doppler spectral waveforms and color Doppler findings enabled confident diagnoses. Color Doppler imaging allowed faster detection of intraaneurysmal flow, and the track between the injured artery and the pseudoaneurysm was identified only with color Doppler imaging. Duplex Doppler US with color Doppler imaging allows for the rapid, unequivocal diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm, thus enabling prompt treatment without the need for invasive diagnostic modalities

Abstract

Three patients with clinically suspected pseudoaneurysm as a complication of femoral puncture were referred for ultrasound (US) evaluation with both conventional duplex Doppler US and color Doppler imaging. Pseudoaneurysm (n = 2) and simple hematoma (n = 2) were depicted with both Doppler systems, and a separate pseudoaneurysm and a hematoma were found in one patient. These diagnoses were confirmed surgically. Distinctive Doppler spectral waveforms and color Doppler findings enabled confident diagnoses. Color Doppler imaging allowed faster detection of intraaneurysmal flow, and the track between the injured artery and the pseudoaneurysm was identified only with color Doppler imaging. Duplex Doppler US with color Doppler imaging allows for the rapid, unequivocal diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm, thus enabling prompt treatment without the need for invasive diagnostic modalities
