Abstract

Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms are rare and associated with high morbidity and mortality. Alternative approaches to open surgical repair can include endovascular repair or ultrasound-guided thrombin injection. Here, we describe a safe and novel technique of closure of a subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm with Angio-Seal that was unresponsive to thrombin injection and in a difficult location for open repair.

Keywords: Angioseal; peripheral intervention; pseudoaneurysm; vascular closure device.
