Vascular coil extrusion into the duodenum 6 years after hepatic artery aneurysm embolization
A 50-year-old man with a history of coil embolization of a symptomatic 5.3-cm hepatic artery aneurysm 6 years previously presented with a massive gastrointestinal bleed. He was found to have embolization coils extruding into the duodenum from a hepaticoduodenal arterioenteric fistula. The present ca...

| Summary: | A 50-year-old man with a history of coil embolization of a symptomatic 5.3-cm hepatic artery aneurysm 6 years previously presented with a massive gastrointestinal bleed. He was found to have embolization coils extruding into the duodenum from a hepaticoduodenal arterioenteric fistula. The present case demonstrates that endovascular intervention for a large hepatic artery aneurysm can have long-term consequences. We have described a novel complication of embolization of a giant hepatic artery aneurysm that necessitated complex open repair. |
