ABSTRACT
We report a case of postoperative pseudoaneurysm, successfully treated with selective arterial embolization, using a steerable microcatheter and triaxial system via retrograde approach. A pseudoaneurysm was detected in the dorsal pancreatic artery, a severely narrow and steeply inverted branch of the superior mesenteric artery, making microcatheter insertion via the antegrade approach challenging. However, a steerable microcatheter was advanced beyond the orifice and the tip was reversed, changing the route to retrograde allowing for easy insertion of the microguidewire. Subsequently, a small microcatheter was advanced beyond the pseudoaneurysm into the dorsal pancreatic artery, and arterial embolization was successfully completed without complications.
