ENDOVASCULAR EMBOLIZATION OF GASTRODUODENAL ARTERY IN ITS PANCREATOGENOUS ARROSIA: A CLINICAL CASE
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
Arrosion of the peripancreatic vascular structures is a rare, but life-threatening condition and requires surgical treatment. One of the most common causes of arrosia is the presence of pancreatic pseudocyst. Imaging methods play a crucial role not only in terms of identifying the described pathology, but also in planning the tactics of surgical treatment. We present a clinical case of a patient, a 44-year-old male, with pseudocyst in the pancreatic head in the presence of chronic pancreatitis, complicated by bleeding into its cavity as a result of an arrosion of the gastroduodenal artery, which required endovascular embolization and drainage of the pseudocyst. This clinical case shows the possibility of endovascular embolization of the injured gastroduodenal artery with microspirals.
