Treatment of right hepatic artery stump bleeding after pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy by covered stent endoprosthesis placement.

ABSTRACT: Serious complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy include rupture of pseudoaneurysms arising from pancreatic fistula and pancreatojejunostomy leakage. We report a case of successful endovascular minimally invasive treatment using a covered stent endoprosthesis of a right hepatic artery stump bleeding following pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy that was not suitable for coil or glue embolization due to an insufficiently short neck.
