Transcatheter Arterial Embolization of Gastroduodenal Artery Stump Pseudoaneurysms after Pancreaticoduodenectomy: Safety and Efficacy of Two Embolization Techniques

Endovascular trapping of the hepatic artery is a safe and effective treatment of pseudoaneurysms of the GDA stump after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Hepatic ischemic complications are not rare, but can be conservatively managed. Selective embolization of the GDA stump and/or pseudoaneurysm is frequently associated with recurrence of bleeding, which eventually leads to major complications.
