Figure 4 Coil embolization in an superior mesenteric artery aneurysm in a patient with chronic calcific pancreatitis. A, B: Axial contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen revealed dilated main pancreatic duct and coarse calcification in the head of the pancreas, a large partially thrombosed pseudoaneurysm was apparent as a contrast filled globular structure in the head; C, D: Selective abdominal angiography of the superior mesenteric artery revealed the jet of injected contrast into the pseudoaneurysm cavity (D); E, F: Coil embolization was performed to occlude the neck (E) which resulted in complete occlusion and non-filling of the aneurysm (F).
