Résumé
Pseudoaneurysm is a rare vascular complication in pancreas transplantation that can lead into life-threatening situations. A 44-year-old male patient after simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant was admitted to the hospital for routine tests 3 months after surgery. A computed tomography scan and ultrasound examination were done, and a diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm was made. The patient was qualified for endovascular treatment. The pseudoaneurysm was closed using coils, and kidney and pancreas grafts stayed in proper condition. Endovascular interventions in patients after pancreas transplantation are safe and preferable in managing postoperative complications.
