Abstract :
Objective: To report a rare case of right hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm complicating acute pancreatitis based upon imaging findings obtained before and after the development of pseudoaneurysm. Clinical Presentation and Intervention: A 32-year-old male with a history of acute pancreatitis 1 year prior was readmitted for acute pancreatitis. Computed tomography (CT) and angiography after admission revealed pseudoaneurysm of the right hepatic artery. Transcatheter arterial embolization with coils was used to successfully treat the pseudoaneurysm. A CT and angiography 1 year earlier did not reveal any pseudoaneurysm. Conclusion: This patient with a rare right hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm complicating acute pancreatitis was successfully treated with coil embolization.
