Transcatheter embolisation of visceral pseudoaneurysms--technical difficulties and modification of embolisation technique.
We report 13 successful emergency embolisations for 12 pseudoaneurysms performed in 10 patients. For five pseudoaneurysms the embolisation technique was modified according to number of supplying vessels, flow rate of pseudoaneurysms, vascular anatomy and whether there was clinical evidence of re-bleeding or not. Apart from traditional embolisation technique, modified embolisation techniques are also useful for endovascular therapy of pseudoaneurysms.
