Percutaneous glue embolization as an alternative treatment for visceral pseudoaneurysms

Abstract

Visceral artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare, life-threatening medical condition with a high incidence of rupture and bleeding. At most institutions, endovascular intervention is considered the first-line treatment with surgical repair as a secondary option. Percutaneous glue embolization is emerging as a safe alternative technique for minimally invasive treatment of visceral pseudoaneurysms. This case series aims to promote percutaneous glue embolization as a life-saving measure in cases where an endovascular approach cannot be performed successfully, and patients are not surgical candidates.
