Splenic Artery Embolisation: An Institutional Case Series
Abstract
Pancreatitis is one of the common causes of acute abdomen, with vascular complications being the most dangerous life-threatening ones. They include the formation of vessel thrombosis, erosion of vessel walls, and formation of pseudoaneurysms due to the release of activated pancreatic enzymes. Pseudoaneurysms most commonly affect the splenic, gastro-duodenal, pancreaticoduodenal, gastric, and hepatic arteries. The rupture of these pseudo-aneurysms can be fatal due to massive bleeding. Hence, prompt diagnosis and treatment of these lesions are necessary to prevent further catastrophe.
