Abstract

Pseudoaneurysm formation is a serious complication in the context ofa pancreatic resection, reaching out a high mortality rate. Classically, surgery was the gold standard of treatment, but nowadays endovascular approach has been accepted as the first treatment option. The use of covered stents seems to be a safe and effective tool to treat this serious complication.
