Article Synopsis
- Hemosuccus pancreaticus is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, linked to the pancreatic duct, with only about 150 cases reported by 2021.
- Without treatment, the condition has a high mortality rate of up to 90%, but intervention can reduce it to 25%-37%.
- A case study of a 64-year-old woman showed successful treatment of her pancreatic hematoma and pseudoaneurysm through angiographic embolization, emphasizing the importance of advanced imaging and multidisciplinary care in managing this condition.
Background And Purpose: The carotid stent placement as a therapeutic option for carotid stenosis has been increasing among years; therefore, studies are required to evaluate the security and efficacy of its materials. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the distal filter and the proximal balloon-guided catheter with flow inversion as protection devices during carotid angioplasty and stenting.
Methods: This is a retrospective, observational study of patients diagnosed with carotid stenosis treated with angioplasty between January 1, 2014, and June 30, 2020; we analyzed a radiology service database to compare the distal filter and the proximal balloon-guided catheter as protection devices during angioplasty.
