“…Doppler US has a sensitivity and specificity of 100% in differentiating pseudoaneurysms from periarterial hematomas. 16 Demonstration of communication with an artery is very useful in establishing the diagnosis of a pseudoaneurysm and this was possible in our patient.…”

“…[3][4][5]8,9,11 On spectral Doppler analysis a ''to and fro'' sign is characteristic of a pseudoaneurysm. 16,17 The blood flows into the pseudoaneurysm during systole when the pressure in the artery is higher than in the pseudoaneurysm sac and the flow is reversed in diastole when the pressure in the artery drops. Doppler US has a sensitivity and specificity of 100% in differentiating pseudoaneurysms from periarterial hematomas.…”

“…[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Treatment options include open surgery, percutaneous coil embolization, or embolization with N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA), sonographicguided thrombin injection, or sonographic-guided compression. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] To the best of our knowledge, only 16 IEA pseudoaneurysms have been reported in the English literature with only one case of spontaneous pseudoaneurysm 4 among them. We describe the US findings in a rare case of spontaneous IEA pseudoaneurysm.…”

A case of spontaneous pseudoaneurysm of the inferior epigastric artery-diagnosed on Doppler sonography-is presented. A 19-year-old boy presented with a lump in the anterior abdominal wall. Clinically a smooth, nontender, and noncompressible mass was present above umbilicus to the right of midline. A bruit was heard over the swelling. Doppler sonography demonstrated an oval hypoechoic structure in the right rectus sheath with turbulent flow. The pseudoaneurysm could be traced to the inferior epigastric artery. Surgical excision of pseudoaneurysm was performed. Histopathology showed myxoid changes in the wall of the pseudoaneurysm with no inflammatory changes.

Sixty-nine cases of pseudoaneurysm were made in 72 femoral arteries of 54 Japanese white rabbits, with a successful rate of 95.8%. Colored Doppler's ultrasonic imaging, CT, MRI, arterial angiography, anatomic dissection, and histologic observation were carried out at different times after the operation. The mechanism for the formation of pseudoaneurysm was discussed and the effects of colored Doppler's ultrasonic imaging, CT, MRI, and arterial angiography in the diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm were evaluated.

“…[1][2][3][4][5] Popliteal artery pseudoaneurysms are the most commonly reported cases with exostosis, [6][7][8] but other arteries have also been reported, such as superficial femoral artery, 9 brachial artery, 10 and posterior tibial artery. 11 Although selective angiogram is the method of choice in diagnosis, 12,13 MRI and MRA are reported as excellent noninvasive methods of diagnosis.…”
