ABSTRACT
Pseudoaneurysm formation is a rare, but potentially life threatening delayed complication of major pancreatic surgery. Redo surgery several weeks after pancreaticoduodenectomy can be hazardous, especially in debilitated patients. Percutaneous, transcatheter exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm by means of embolic coils can be an efficient, safe and minimally invasive alternative to open surgery with good mid- and long-term results. We present our experience in Three patients undergoing transcatheter embolization of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms detected several weeks after Whipple's operation.
