A VISCERAL ARTERY PSEUDOANEURYSM INVOLVING CELIAC ARTERY SECONDARY TO ENDOVASCULAR STENT FRACTURE.

Abstract

Visceral artery pseudoaneurysm are rare potentially fatal lesions. They occur due to weakening of vessel wall secondary to trauma, iatrogenic events, infections, inflammation, and atherosclerosis and carry a high risk of rupture leading to life threatening hemorrhage. Surgical and endovascular treatment options including embolization of the pseudoaneurysm or exclusion of the aneurysm with a stent-graft are available for management of these pseudoaneurysms. In this case report, we report complication of celiac artery stent fracture with resultant pseudoaneurysm that was successfully treated with endovascular coil embolization.
