Expect the Unexpected: Acute and Subacute Coronary Stent Thrombosis Following Percutaneous Thrombin Injection for Treatment of Femoral Pseudoaneurysm

Ultrasonographically guided percutaneous thrombin injection is the treatment of choice for iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms, which mostly result from catheterization procedures. This is the first time, to our knowledge, thatacute and subacute coronary stent thrombosis after percutaneous thrombin injection has been reported.
