Article Abstract

Hepatic arterial pseudoaneurysm is a rare but potentially fatal condition that requires prompt management. We report a case of hepatic arterial pseudoaneurysm developed after radiofrequency ablation of a hepatocellular carcinoma. The patient was successfully treated with percutaneous absolute ethanol injection under ultrasound guidance. Follow-up studies with ultrasound and computed tomography for 2 years after treatment revealed no evidence of local recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma and of the pseudoaneurysm.

Retroperitoneal hemorrhage in patients with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is uncommon, and its optimal management remains controversial because both surgical and endovascular interventions carry substantial risks. A 36-year-old man with vEDS presented with persistent upper abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a massive retroperitoneal hematoma, approximately 20 cm in size, with a pseudoaneurysm in a mesenteric artery branch but without contrast extravasation.

Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided biliary drainage has been reported as an alternative technique when transpapillary endoscopic biliary drainage fails. This case study describes a case of pseudoaneurysm, one of the complications unique to endoscopic ultrasonography-guided biliary drainage. An 87-year-old woman who underwent endoscopic ultrasonography-guided hepaticojejunostomy with a partially covered metallic stent developed hematochezia.

A 74-year-old man who had received Bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy for bladder cancer developed vasovagal syncope. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed multiple pseudoaneurysms in the left internal carotid artery, aorta, and right common femoral artery, which were considered to be infected aneurysms. Parent artery occlusion was planned for the left internal carotid artery, but the balloon occlusion test was not possible because of the patient's restlessness; therefore, the patient was treated with a Viabahn stent graft.

A 75-year-old man with a history of open surgical repair for a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm presented with an aortic pseudoaneurysm at the anastomosis and a celiac artery aneurysm. During endovascular treatment, multiple celiac artery branches were embolized, and an aortic stent graft was placed to cover the aortic anastomosis and celiac artery origin. Four days post-treatment, a computed tomography scan revealed poor enhancement and fluid collection in the pancreatic body and tail, indicating acute ischemic pancreatitis with pancreatic necrosis.
