Pancreatic pseudoaneurysm. Monitoring the success of transcatheter embolization with duplex sonography.

Pancreatic Pseudo aneurysm: An Unusual Cause of Gastrointestinal Bleeding and it's Radiologically guided Management. A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

“…Doppler ultrasound identifies turbulent arterial flow within a peri-pancreatic swelling, thus confirming a pseudoaneurysm 29 while simultaneously observing neighbouring vessels 30 and in some centres is used as a monitoring tool for successful embolisation. 31 ERCP may demonstrate disruption in the ductal system and can be used to define the anatomy of the duct system, may be used therapeutically in pseudo cyst treatment and may also identify a clot in the pancreatic duct confirming the diagnosis of a haemosuccus pancreaticus. 11 The guidelines for the treatment of pancreatic pseudo aneurysms are not well defined probably because of the rarity of the condition and the lack of enough material for large studies.…”

Imaging and imaging-guided therapy in severe acute pancreatitis

“…Once a pseudocyst is identified, however, US can be a simple, inexpensive method to follow it to resolution 30. Ultrasound can also be used to guide the percutaneous management of fluid collections and pseudoaneurysms …”
