Management of patients developing axillary pseudoaneursym after ductal stenting: Report of three cases

Pseudoaneurysms develop as a result of disruption of the arterial wall due to trauma or iatrogenic reasons such as catheterization, and it is important due to the high risk of bleeding and rupture. Until recently, the main treatment of pseudoaneurysms was surgical repair. However, in recent years, minimally invasive methods such as ultrasound-guided compression and percutaneous thrombin injection have been used more frequently. In this article, the clinical course and findings of three different cases who developed pseudoaneurysm as a result of stenting the ductus arteriosus via the axillary artery were discussed.
