Frequency and causes of delayed diagnosis of visceral artery pseudoaneurysms with CT: Lessons learned

ConclusionsOur study showed that 58 % of VAPA were diagnosed with delay, with the following four reasons for misdiagnosis: Lack of an arterial contrast phase in CT, no techniques for artifact reduction, and lack of awareness of the radiologists. Avoiding delayed diagnosis will most probably improve outcome of patients with VAPA.
