AbstractObjective to evaluate ultrasound guided compression (UGC) for the treatment of iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms (PA). Design retrospective follow-up of 130 patients with suspected PA referred from the cardiac catheterisation laboratory over a 36-month period. Results the overall incidence of PA was 0.5% and was significantly higher after therapeutic (1.5%) than diagnostic (0.3%) procedures (p <0.000001). Forty-eight patients with a PA were treated with UGC with an 88% success rate. Success did not appear to be related to PA diameter.Conclusion the efficacy of UGC as treatment of PAs is confirmed
