A visceral pseudoaneurysm: management by EUS-guided thrombin injection.

Visceral pseudoaneurysm is a rare but well-described omplication of pancreatitis1,2 caused by the autodigestive unction of pancreatic enzymes.3 The splenic, gastroduoenal, pancreaticoduodenal, and hepatic arteries are most ommonly affected.2,4 Pseudoaneurysms require active anagement because of the high complication and morality rates associated with rupture.2,5 Traditional treatment ptions include aneurysm exclusion, surgical excision or igation, revascularization, and endovascular techniques uch as angiographic embolization.2,4,6 We report a case of a visceral pseudoaneurysm manged by EUS-guided thrombin injection and discuss the ole of this novel technique.
