Persistent Bleeding after Coil Embolization of a Pancreatic Transplant Pseudoaneurysm: Should Covered Stents Be the Primary Management?

Life-threatening arterial complications after pancreatic transplantation can be dire. Pseudoaneurysms can be challenging to treat. There are multiple strategies to treat such complications. We present a case of pancreatic pseudoaneurysm which was initially treated by coiling followed by subsequent covered stent placement for a more durable outcome. We advocate for a "stent first" approach to these lesions if feasible.
