Pancreaticoduodenal arcades as salvage route for transarterial embolization of life-threatening hepatic hemorrhage in patients with severe celiac axis stenosis: Case series

摘要

IntroductionVarious transarterial embolotherapies for different hepatic etiologies are performed through the celiac axis (CA). However, this pathway is not always patent due to the extensive stenosis or occlusion of the origin of CA. In such situations, the pancreaticoduodenal arcades (PDAs) catheterization is the main alternative to gain access to the hepatic arteries as demonstrated in clinical studies.
