PURPOSE: We previously reported preliminary data on a new procedure that we developed for the treatment of @entity2096 after catheterization. This study presents our current results of percutaneous ultrasound-guided @entity556 injection for treating @entity2849 that arise from various locations and causes. METHODS: Between February 1996 and May 1999, we performed @entity556 injection of 83 @entity2849 in 82 @entity1 . There were 74 @entity2096 : 60 from cardiac catheterization (36 interventional), seven from peripheral arteriography (four interventional), five from intra-aortic balloon pumps, and two from dialysis catheters. There were nine other @entity2849 : five brachial (two cardiac catheterization, two gunshot wounds, one after removal of an infected arteriovenous graft), one subclavian (central venous catheter insertion), one radial (arterial line), and one distal superficial femoral and one posterior tibial (both after @entity130 ). Twenty-nine pseudo- @entity439 were injected while on therapeutic anticoagulation. @entity1 underwent repeat ultrasound examination within 5 days and after 4 weeks. RESULTS: Eighty-two of 83 @entity2849 had initial successful treatment by this technique, including 28 of 29 in @entity1 who were undergoing anticoagulation therapy. The only complication was @entity715 of a distal brachial artery, which resolved spontaneously. There were early recurrences in seven @entity1 : four @entity1 underwent successful reinjection; reinjection failed in two @entity1 , who underwent surgical repair; and one @entity1 had spontaneous @entity715 on follow-up. After 4 weeks, ultrasound examinations were completely normal or showed some residual @entity1410 , and there were no recurrent @entity2849 . CONCLUSION: Ultrasound-guided @entity556 injection of @entity2849 has excellent results, which support its widespread use as the primary treatment for this common problem.
