We report in this technical notethe treatment of a superior mesenteric vein pseudoaneurysm that developed as a result of aninfected small pancreatic pseudocyst, by radiologic placement of a covered endovascular stent.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Vascular pseudoaneurysms are a rare yet life-threatening complication of untreated pancreaticpseudocysts related to their high risk of rupture and bleeding.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Several studies and reports haveestablished endovascular approaches as a successful first-line therapy in the management of arterial pancreatic pseudoaneurysms.
💡

Özet
Vascular pseudoaneurysms are a rare yet life-threatening complication of untreated pancreaticpseudocysts related to their high risk of rupture and bleeding. Several studies and reports haveestablished endovascular approaches as a successful first-line therapy in the management of arterial pancreatic pseudoaneurysms. However, no reports have been published describing endovascular repair of a venous pseudoaneurysm that developed after infection of a chronically stable pancreatic pseudocyst, most likely due to its rare occurrence. We report in this technical notethe treatment of a superior mesenteric vein pseudoaneurysm that developed as a result of aninfected small pancreatic pseudocyst, by radiologic placement of a covered endovascular stent.
