Angiographic Intervention in Patients With a Suspected Visceral Artery Pseudoaneurysm Complicating Pancreatitis and Pancreatic Surgery

Abstract

Embolization was highly effective in treating a pseudoaneurysm complicating pancreatitis and pancreatic surgery. The hemodynamic status at the time of angiography determines overall survival.

A challenging case of epigastric pain: diagnosis and mini-invasive treatment of a large gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm

“…In conclusion, the interventional approach is rapidly becoming the primary therapeutic modality of pseudoaneurysms of the visceral arteries and many reports have showed a high efficacy10–12 with a low rate of complications.…”

Development of Multiple Visceral Artery Pseudoaneurysms Following Pancreatic Injury from Penetrating Trauma

“…Surgical ligation was once the preferred treatment, however open and endovascular approaches show similar mortality rates [6]. While many still advocate for open isolation and resection of VAPAs, coil embolization and stenting are safe alternatives for patients deemed unsuitable for open surgery [7][8][9].…”

Emergency pancreatic surgery—demanding and dangerous

“…Complication treatment in elective and emergency pancreatic surgery is a primary topic of anesthesiological and interventional management [22][23][24][25][26][27]. In the present study, radiological interventions included abdominal drain placement, angiographic bleeding control, and percutaneous stenting of the bile duct in case of leakage to avoid re-operation in a critical condition of the patient which would represent a re-emergency surgical approach [22,23,26].…”
