Duodenal bleeding outside covered stents identified by selective computed tomography during arteriography that was successfully treated by embolization: A case report

The patient was a man in his 60s who previously underwent placement of covered stents in the duodenum for a duodenal stricture caused by pancreatic cancer invasion. He experienced multiple episodes of hematemesis and hematochezia during hospitalization. Emergency upper and lower gastrointestinal end...

description The patient was a man in his 60s who previously underwent placement of covered stents in the duodenum for a duodenal stricture caused by pancreatic cancer invasion. He experienced multiple episodes of hematemesis and hematochezia during hospitalization. Emergency upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopies were performed but were unable to reveal the bleeding source. Based on these findings, we suspected small intestinal bleeding and emergency angiography was performed for the purpose of hemostasis. Computed tomography during arteriography was performed from the superior mesenteric artery and revealed extravasation outside the covered stents in the descending portion of the duodenum. Angiography of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery revealed extravasation in the descending portion of the duodenum, and the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery was embolized with n-butyl cyanoacrylate. There were no postoperative symptoms indicative of intestinal ischemia or pancreatitis, and there was no rebleeding after embolization. In patients with bleeding outside the duodenal-covered stents, it can be difficult to identify the bleeding source by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. In this case, selective computed tomography during arteriography and angiography revealed bleeding outside the duodenal-covered stents that was successfully treated by arterial embolization with n-butyl cyanoacrylate.
