Transcatheter arterial embolization of the common hepatic artery for pseudoaneurysm after a laparoscopic‐assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy: A case report

Abstract

Abstract Common hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare and potentially life‐threatening complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy, and the possible cause is unclear. We report a case of intraperitoneal hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy who was discharged after embolization under digital subtraction angiography. We conside that this complication may be related to iatrogenic injury.
