Sonographic-guided Compression Repair of Femoral Pseudoaneurysm

A 50-year-old male who was a hepatitis B carrier complicated by liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. He was referred to our department for transarterial hepatic embolization. A right groin mass was noted by the patient day one post treatment. Ultrasound examination revealed a right femoral artery pseudoaneurysm. Ultrasound-guided compression was subsequently applied to the pseudoaneurysm, and it occluded quickly, and did not recur during the one week follow up period. No discomfort and complication was noted.
