A pseudoaneurysm or a false aneurysm is the consequence of a persistent blood leak caused generally by iatrogenic rupture of a vessel wall. In hemodialysis fistula, pseudoaneurysm results from repeated puncturing of the vein at the same site. Surgery and endovascular treatment stay widely used as the treatment of pseudoaneurysm compared to the ultrasound-guided manual compression (UGMC). UGMC is a non-invasive and effective procedure which could be attempted before invasive procedures. We reported two cases of successful treatment of pseudoaneurysm by ultrasound-guided compression. A total thrombosed cavity has been obtained and fistulas could be cannulated in the next session.SommarioLo pseudoadeurisma o falso aneurisma è la conseguenza di una perdita di sangue persistente causata generalmente dalla rottura iatrogena di una parete di un vaso. Nella fistola di emodialisi, lo pseudoaneurisma deriva da ripetuta foratura della vena nello stesso sito. La chirurgia e il trattamento endovascolare rimangono ampiamente usati per il trattamento di pseudoaneurisma rispetto alla compressione manuale guidata ad ultrasuoni (UGMC). UGMC è una procedura non invasiva ed efficace che potrebbe essere tentata prima delle procedure invasive. Presentiamo di seguito due casi di trattamento efficace di pseudoaneurisma mediante compressione guidata ad ultrasuoni. È stata ottenuta una totale trombosi della cavità trombosa e le fistole possono essere incannulate nella sessione successiva.
