Fig 3 Computed tomography-guided puncture of the pseudoaneurysmal cavity (asterisk) with the patient in procubitus. Note the presence of two needles: The malpositioned lateral needle (arrowhead) was used to guide the placement of the second needle (arrow) more medially and with its tip in the middle of the pseudoaneurysmal lumen (asterisk). This was the correct positioning of the needle to perform the thrombin injection. Journal of Vascular Surgery , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2005 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
