Pseudo-aneurysm embolization
  1. The pseudoaneurysm was located with neck Doppler-Ultrasonography using a linear probe.
  2. After local anaesthesia (Lidocaine hydrochloride 10 mg/ml, Aguettant, Lyon, France), a fine needle (Spinocan, 0.90x88 mm, 20G, B.Braun Medical, Melsungen, Germany) was inserted until the middle of the pseudoaneurysm and radiologist injected one millilitre of an emulsion of Lipiodol® Ultra Fluide (LUF) (Guerbet, Aulnay-sous-Bois, France) and Glubran®2 (GEM, Viareggio, Italy) in a volume ratio of 1 to 1 pushed by 1 ml of Glucose serum (Figure 1c, d).
  3. The post-embolization tomodensitometry confirmed the emulsion deposit within the pseudo-aneurysm (Figure 1e, f). No further bleeding was reported and patient was discharged a few days later.
