Zusammenfassung: | Objective: The aim of this work was to report a case of left hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm due to acute pancreatitis following endoscopic papillectomy. Clinical Presentation and Intervention: A 74-year-old female with an ampullary adenoma underwent papillectomy, which was complicated by acute pancreatitis. Computed tomography showed aneurysmal dilatation of the proximal left hepatic artery. An angiography with coli embolization was performed and was successful. The patient was doing well at the 1-year follow-up. Conclusion: This patient with left hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm following severe acute pancreatitis was successfully treated with coil embolization. |
