What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

introductionArterial pseudoaneurysms (PSAs) are the most common access site complication following transarterial catheter intervention. Ultrasound-guided injection of thrombogenic substances into perfused arterial PSAs followed by compression therapy is a well-established and less invasive treatment option than surgical repair. Different agents are available to induce thrombosis including thrombin and a fibrin-based tissue glue, which is used as first-line treatment at our institution. This paper deals with our experience using ultrasound-guided fibrin glue injection (UGFI). MATERIALS AND

methodsRetrospective data analysis: all patients (55) treated for iatrogenic femoral PSA following digital subtraction angiography of the lower extremities between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2018, were included. Data on epidemiology, PSA location and size, vascular risk factors, fibrin glue injection (fibrin glue volume), primary success rate of UFGI, and complications related to the treatment were analyzed.

resultsA total of 55 consecutive femoral iatrogenic PSAs were treated during the defined period and 32 (58.2%) of the patients were female. Imaging was performed using ultrasound in all cases. The most common PSA location (80.0%) was the common femoral artery, mean PSA size (± SD) was 2.7 ± 1.2 cm, and neck length was 1.6 ± 1.0 cm. The dose (mean ± SD) of fibrin glue was 2.6 mL (± 1.0; maximum: 6 mL). Primary UGFI success rate was 87.3% and conversion rate to open surgery was 12.7%. Two (4%) patients required embolectomy for peripheral embolization after UGFI.

conclusionEarly results achieved with UGFI for treatment of iatrogenic femoral PSA are promising. In our cohort, UGFI was a safe and effective first-line alternative to traditional open surgery, which then was unnecessary in the vast majority of PSA cases. Further prospective studies for comparison of ultrasound-guided techniques should be encouraged.
