Ruptured pseudoaneurysm of an unnamed vessel as complication of chronic pancreatitis

Abstract

Pseudoaneurysms in the celiac territory are mostly managed conservatively. Endovascular thromboembolisation with or without stenting is currently the standard treatment with good outcome. We present a case of a patient with chronic pancreatitis who initially underwent endovascular treatment for presumed splenic artery pseudoaneurysm and subsequently required surgical intervention for complicated unnamed artery pseudoaneurysm. Radiological diagnosis was instrumental in guiding the ensuing surgical procedure and the patient made a good postoperative recovery.
