Transcatheter arterial embolization is a useful treatment for postpancreatectomy hemorrhage, a severe complication of pancreatic surgery. N-butyl cyanoacrylate is a liquid and permanent embolic material that is widely used in transcatheter arterial embolization. However, its use can lead to the adherence of the catheter to the vessel wall and occlusion of the catheter lumen. This case report presents the case of a 63-year-old man with a postpancreatectomy posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm, which ruptured and bled into a drain tube. The patient underwent transcatheter arterial embolization using N-butyl cyanoacrylate and a gelatin sponge without the incidence of adherence or occlusion of the drain tube. Gelatin sponge, which was used as a temporary embolic material, was effective in preventing the drain tube from adhering and occluding.
