Abstract

Pseudoaneurysms are a commonly encountered pathology, though pseudoaneurysms of the visceral arteries are a less frequent, but potentially deadly entity. Transarterial embolization is the typical treatment of visceral pseudoaneurysms, but success is dependent on anatomy that is conducive to selecting the supplying vessel. Abdominal ultrasound is a viable method to effectively treat visceral pseudoaneurysms when transarterial embolization is not possible. It is also an excellent example of the growing utilization of ultrasound guidance in various interventional radiologic procedures. The usefulness of ultrasound is demonstrated in this case report, where a left gastric artery pseudoaneurysm was embolized through ultrasound guidance.
