Stent graft exclusion of pseudo-aneurysm arising from PTFE hemodialysis graft after recurrence following ultrasound guided thrombin injection.

There are various non-invasive or minimally invasive techniques for management of pseudoaneurysms including ultrasound guided compression, ultrasound guided thrombin injection and covered stent placement. We report a case where a covered stent graft was successfully used for the treatment of a pseudoaneurysm directly arising from a PTFE graft which recurred 3 months following treatment with ultrasound guided thrombin injection.
