چکیده
Pseudoaneurysms are rare complications of chronic pancreatitis and are associated with a high mortality. In this article we demonstrate a novel utilization of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) technology to embolize a large pancreatic pseudoaneurysm when gold standard therapies had proven futile.

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. On abdominal computed tomography (CT), a low...
