- Abstract
Percutaneous transcatheter embolization of splanchnic artery aneurysms is a minimally invasive and alternative therapy to conventional surgical intervention. Due to a high-grade stenosis at the origin of the celiac trunk, a retrograde approach to the celiac trunk pseudoaneurysm via the gastroduodenal artery was necessary. To prevent undesirable embolization into the peripheral left gastric artery initial occlusion of the central portion of the left gastric artery was performed with microcoils using a Tracker catheter. Complete occlusion of the celiac trunk itself and the short adjacent segments of the celiac artery was achieved by using a mixture of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate and ethiodized oil as the embolizing agent.
