Transesophageal echocardiography can rarely be complicated by a superior thyroid artery pseudoaneurysm, which can be effectively managed with transarterial coil embolization.
Raises awareness of rare TEE pseudoaneurysm risk; single case leaves open incidence and prevention data.
The pseudo-aneurysm is a hematoma of post-traumatic origin, and capsulated button which is in communication with the lumen of the artery of relevance. Singular occurrence in the district ENT, if not recognized early the pseudo-aneurysm can result in dramatic events such cataclysmic bleeding or acute occlusion of the upper airway. In literature there are outstanding references to the pseudo-aneurysm of the superior thyroid (ATS). We present a rare case of pseudo-aneurysm occurred after the ATS trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE) and external cardioversion.

Frank Rikki Canevari (2015) conducted a case report in Superior thyroid artery pseudoaneurysm (n=1). Endovascular coil embolization was evaluated on Resolution of bleeding and swelling. Endovascular coil embolization successfully treated a rare superior thyroid artery pseudoaneurysm that developed as a complication of transesophageal echocardiography-guided cardioversion.
