EUS guided thrombin injection as alternative to angiografic coil embolization
Authors
Abstract Text Managment or prevention of bleeding of pseudoaneursym in pancreatitis or highly vascularized tumors can be challanging. Gold-Standart therapy is DSA with coil embolization. However in some cases this is not possible due to technical reasons such as inaccessible vascular region, small caliber or short neck of the pseudoaneursym. We show two cases where the role of EUS guided thrombin injection was crucial to avoid sugery. EUS guided thrombin injection is a feasible and save alternative to coil embolisation in bleedings of pseudoaneurysma and highly vascularised tumors.
