Visceral artery pseudoaneurysm in necrotizing pancreatitis: incidence and outcomes.

Conclusion: In this study, VA-PSA occurred in 4.3% of patients with necrotizing pancreatitis. Percutaneous angioembolization effectively treated most cases; however, mortality from VA-PSA was high (14%). A high degree of clinical suspicion remains critical for early diagnosis of this potentially fatal problem. PMID: 32436687 [PubMed - in process]
