“…Femoral pseudoaneurysms and arteriovenous fistulas have been studied more extensively, and incidences of 0.3-1.3% are reported in large series, mainly after cardiac diagnostic and therapeutic interventions [22,30]. Recent literature confirms the possibility of spontaneous thromboses and resolution of pseudoaneurysms; however, the reported incidence rates are highly variable (17-88%) [21][22][23][24]. This difference is partly due to different durations of observation before any intervention is done.…”

“…Hematomas usually resolve spontaneously. However, there are several reports of spontaneous resolution of aneurysms, pseudoaneurysms and arteriovenous fistulas at various anatomical locations [20][21][22][23][24]. Misinterpretation of a neck swelling as a hematoma instead of a pseudoaneurysm can lead to underreporting, especially if it resolves spontaneously and is not evaluated by ultrasound.…”

“…The majority of recent studies propose ultrasoundguided compression as the treatment of choice for femoral pseudoaneurysms with high rates of success and minimal complications [24,30,31]. Percutaneous ultrasoundguided thrombin injection is also proposed as a new, safe and easy method for treating femoral pseudoaneurysms [32].…”

Internal jugular vein cannulation has become the preferred approach for temporary hemodialysis catheter placement following reports of an increased incidence of subclavian vein stenosis due to subclavian vein catheterization. Internal jugular vein catheterization is associated with a high rate of successful catheter placement. However, significant complications such as internal carotid artery (ICA) puncture, pneumothorax, vessel erosion, thrombosis, airway obstruction and infection can occur. The most common complication is ICA puncture. More recently a few cases of thyrocervical trunk pseudoaneurysm and fistula following internal jugular vein and subclavian vein catheterization attempts have been reported. Patients with renal failure who are on hemodialysis may have to undergo multiple catheter placements and vascular access interventions. This, along with their comorbid conditions, increases the risk of such complications. Here we report a patient on hemodialysis who developed transverse cervical artery pseudoaneurysm following an attempted right internal jugular vein catheterization. We report this case because of its rarity, to raise awareness of such a complication and to discuss different treatment options, in particular endovascular coil occlusion. A review of relevant literature is also presented.

“…Compression can be achieved with manual pressure or by ultrasound guided compression; both techniques attempt to convert the vascular lesion into a hematoma by accelerating spontaneous thrombosis. The success of this therapy depends on elimination of the blood flow in the pseudoaneurysm sac for 15-30 min [33,34]. Some studies have shown that as many as 89 % of untreated pseudoaneurysms resolve in 5-90 days [33,35].…”

Pseudoaneurysms of the branches of the external carotid artery as a result of trauma are rare in oral and maxillofacial surgery practice. The most affected branches are the superficial temporal artery, internal maxillary artery and distal part of facial artery, usually where they pass over the bone. Very few cases of facial artery pseudoaneurysms of proximal parts (from external carotid artery up to the lower border of the mandible) are reported in the literature. We present a review of literature for management of late post-traumatic pseudoaneurysmal cyst and a case report involving proximal part of facial artery in the submandibular region following open reduction and rigid fixation of the condylar fracture in a 25-year-old male. To our knowledge this is the fourth reported case of proximal facial artery pseudoaneurysm.

“…Computed tomography can confirm the diagnosis of retroperitoneal hematoma, and more than 80% of patients can be treated conservatively with transfusions without surgery (764). Pseudoaneurysms may be treated effectively with ultrasound-directed compression in the majority of patients who are not bleeding and do not require continued anticoagulation (763,766,767). Arteriovenous fistulas, generally occurring late after a procedure, are detected by a continuous murmur over the puncture site and, in rare cases, may be associated with high-output failure.…”
