He presented septic shock and died in the immediate postoperative period. Computerized Axial Tomography represents the ideal diagnostic method. Spontaneous rupture is extremely rare and requires urgent surgical intervention.展开更多

Herein, we present two different cases of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms derived from previous surgeries which were assessed by computed tomography angiographies and consequent conservative endovascular approaches with arteriographies, posterior cannulations and the placement of Amplatzer Vascular Plug 4 (AVP 4) systems in order to treat the pseudoaneurysm. Computed control tomographies were conducted showing no later complications. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the importance and current clinical applications of AVP in the field of interventional radiology.展开更多
