A patient presented abdominal pseudoaneurysm after traumatic pancreatitis. Computed tomography and visceral arterial angiography showed a ruptured pseudoaneurysm at gastroduodenal artery (GDA). Superselective transcatheter arterial embolization of the pseudoaneurysm was performed by applying liquid adhesive suspension to stop bleeding.

We report on a rare case of blunt traumatic hepatic arteriovenous fistula arising from a pseudoaneurysm in a 35-year-old woman. Transarterial embolization was performed with n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, under inflow control with loose coil packing within the pseudoaneurysm and outflow control by balloon occlusion of the hepatic vein. A promising therapeutic outcome was achieved without any serious ...

pseudoaneurysms of the ascending aorta, which are rare and life-threatening complications in cardiovascular surgeries, can be caused by the bentall procedure. we describe a 44-year-old woman, who had a medical history of acute aortic dissection (type a) and the bentall procedure and was admitted because of exertional dyspnea, edema of the lower extremities, ascites, and holosystolic murmur in t...

Introduction Pseudoaneurysm is a serious complication after pancreatic surgery, which mainly depends on the presence of a preceding pancreatic fistula. Postpancreatectomy hemorrhage following total pancreatectomy is a rare complication due to the absence of a pancreatic fistula. Here we report an unusual case of massive gastrointestinal bleeding due to right hepatic artery (RHA) pseudoaneurysm ...

background: percutaneous nephrolithotomy (pcnl) for renal calculi is less invasive treatment than open surgery. vascular complications of this procedure include hematoma, pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula of which pseudoaneurysm is usually symptomatic 24h after procedure. case report : we report a case of pseudoaneurysm, which was symptomatic within less than 24h following procedure and ...

Pseudoaneurysm of the cavernosal artery is quite rare. Herein, we describe color Doppler findings of post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the right cavernosal artery in a 19-year-old adolescent boy who presented with right hip pain.
