Transcatheter Embolization of a Giant Gastroduodenal Artery Aneurysm: A Case Report
نویسنده
چکیده
We report a case of a 51-year-old patient with chronic pancreatitis and a giant gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm. Noninvasive radiological procedures precisely defined the gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm. Catheter angiography revealed the site of extravazation in the upper third of the gastroduodenal artery, and enabled successful embolization with coils. Follow-up CD sonography confirmed complete occlusion and secondary thrombosis of the giant pseudoaneurysm.

Successful arterial embolization of a giant pseudoaneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery secondary to chronic pancreatitis with literature review.
We report a case of an uncommon giant pseudoaneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery secondary to chronic pancreatitis. It presented with a perfused volume of 17.3 cm(3) close to the branch-off of the right hepatic artery. Superselective transcatheter embolization including interlocking detachable coils and a mixture of Ethibloc and Lipiodol was our technique of choice. Following the procedure, th...
متن کاملSuccessful Coil Embolization of an Aneurysm in the Arc of Bühler.
In the present report, we describe a case of a patient with an asymptomatic aneurysm in the arc of Bühler (AOB), which was successfully treated by transcatheter arterial embolization. The patient presented with severe stenosis of the celiac trunk, which was suspected to be due to median arcuate ligament syndrome. Arteriography of the superior mesenteric artery indicated a rapid stream in an ane...

A patient presented abdominal pseudoaneurysm after traumatic pancreatitis. Computed tomography and visceral arterial angiography showed a ruptured pseudoaneurysm at gastroduodenal artery (GDA). Superselective transcatheter arterial embolization of the pseudoaneurysm was performed by applying liquid adhesive suspension to stop bleeding. Bleeding pseudoaneurysm is a rare, but potentially a life-t...
متن کاملCoil Embolization of a Giant Renal Artery Aneurysm
Renal artery aneurysms (RAAs) are rare but harbor serious consequences if they rupture. When determining if a RAA should be treated, physicians consider aneurysm size as it pertains to the likelihood of rupture. Giant RAAs have rarely been reported in the literature and have usually been managed by open aneurysmectomy and nephrectomy. In the present case, we report a 63year-old male incidentall...
متن کاملEmbolisation of gastroduodenal artery aneurysm caused by chronic pancreatitis.
Chronic pancreatitis is known to cause vascular lesions, which produce gastrointestinal haemorrhage. Visceral vessel aneurysms are an unexpectedly common finding in arteriograms of patients with chronic pancreatitis. Gastrointestinal bleeding from these aneurysms carries a high mortality, making early diagnosis and treatment essential. Coeliac and mesenteric arteriography readily confirm the di...
