“…However, its diagnostic sensitivity is more hindered by motion artifacts [14]. Recent advances in contrast-enhanced US have yielded increased image contrast in tissues, and this technique is expected to significantly improve the diagnostic confidence level in identifying non-perfused areas [15,16]. In our case, contrast-enhanced US performed 1 week after embolization therapy showed the aneurysm to be sufficiently embolized and the spleen to be free from infarction.…”

The association between pseudoaneurysm of the splenic artery and pancreatitis is now established. Rupture of an aneurysm is a lethal condition, and early diagnosis and treatment are required to prevent this hazardous life-threatening complication. In our case, early detection of pseudoaneurysm of the splenic artery enabled us to start prompt embolization, which yielded good results. Splenic infarction is known to be an important and frequent complication of transarterial embolization of splenic artery aneurysms. Thus, when performing transarterial embolization of a splenic artery aneurysm, this complication must be kept in mind and it is absolutely necessary to confirm the presence or absence of this complication after embolization of the aneurysm. In our case of pseudoaneurysm of the splenic artery due to acute aggravation of chronic pancreatitis, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography confirmed the spleen to be free from infarction. Thus, this technique is strongly recommended in such instances.

Evaluation of transcatheter arterial embolization therapy on hepatocellular carcinomas using contrast-enhanced harmonic power Doppler sonography: comparison with CT, power Doppler sonography, and dynamic MRI

Abstract: Plain CT and power Doppler sonography had a low sensitivity to HCC nodules incompletely treated with TAE. Except for those that were deeply located, contrast-enhanced harmonic sonography showed the highest sensitivity in detecting incompletely treated HCC nodules.
