Pseudoaneurysm is a rare vascular complication in pancreas transplantation that can lead into life-threatening situations. A 44-year-old male patient after simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant was admitted to the hospital for routine tests 3 months after surgery. A computed tomography scan and ultrasound examination were done, and a diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm was made. The patient was qualified for endovascular treatment. The pseudoaneurysm was closed using coils, and kidney and pancreas grafts stayed in proper condition. Endovascular interventions in patients after pancreas transplantation are safe and preferable in managing postoperative complications.
假性动脉瘤是胰腺移植中一种罕见的血管并发症,可导致危及生命的情况。一名44岁男性患者在接受胰肾联合移植后3个月因常规检查入院。进行了计算机断层扫描和超声检查,诊断为假性动脉瘤。该患者符合血管内治疗条件。使用线圈封闭假性动脉瘤,肾和胰腺移植物保持正常状态。胰腺移植术后患者的血管内干预在处理术后并发症方面是安全且更可取的。
