Core Tip

Core Tip: Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography are uncommon and potentially life threatening and should be identified and treated rapidly. Angiographic embolization is the preferred choice for the treatment of pseudoaneurysms, because transarterial angigraphy can find the precise site of vascular injury, and give a treatment at the same time.
