Abdom Imaging. 2007 Jan-Feb;32(1):50-2. doi: 10.1007/s00261-006-9016-0.

Abstract

We report the case of a 57-year-old female who developed a large pseudoaneurysm of the right circumflex iliac artery 15 months after renal transplantation. Minimal invasive treatment was successfully performed with ultrasound-guided thrombin injection using the B-flow mode.
