Endoscopic Ultrasound‑guided Thrombin Injection in Angiographically Unfeasible Giant Pseudoaneurysm of Gastroduodenal Artery in a Patient of Chronic Pancreatitis: An Unusual Case
Abstract:Pseudoaneurysm is a known complication of pancreatitis associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Computed tomography (CT) localizes the pseudoaneurysm apart from the severity of underlying pancreatitis. Digital subtraction angiography with coil embolization is recommended treatment for pseudoaneurysm to avoid bleeding and surgery. However, in cases where angiographic coil embolization fails due to technical reasons, CT/ultrasonography‑ guided thrombin injection remains a viable option as described i… Show more
