dle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is a safe procedure, although major complications do rarely occur. Pseudoaneurysm rupture is an emergency that can cause life-threatening hemorrhage. An exceedingly rare case of ruptured pseudoaneurysm of the splenic artery following EUS-FNA is described. A 62-year-old man was referred for investigation of a pancreatic tumor.

Pancreatic pseudoaneurysm is a rare vascular complication of chronic pancreatitis resulting from erosion of the pancreatic or peripancreatic artery into a pseudocyst that is identified as a pulsating vascular malformation which may lead to lethal complications if left untreated. Many publications in the literature consider angiography as the first step in the management of pancreatic pseudoaneu...

Renal artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are an uncommon clinical problem with a low incidence rate. They are abnormal dilatations of the vessel lumen with some different natures. However, the rupture of an aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm is the most dreaded complication because it causes death of the patient. There are many causes of renal artery aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm, including Behçet's d...

Objective: Pseudoaneurysm of the arterial anastomosis is an uncommon complication following renal transplantation.
