Superior Epigastric Artery Pseudoaneurysm Post Percutaneous Radiologic Gastrostomy in a Patient with Prominent Winslow’s Pathway

Abstract

Percutaneous radiologic gastrostomy is a common procedure performed by interventional radiologists for patients needing nutritional support or gastric decompression. Major bleeding is an uncommon complication of the procedure, occurring in less than 2% of cases. Bleeding related to a pseudoaneurysm of the superior epigastric artery is a rare entity with a few reported cases in the literature. A wide range of treatment options are available, but it requires timely diagnosis and intervention to avoid hemorrhagic shock and associated morbidity and mortality.
