Imaging Findings
A B, C
(A) Coronal reformatted, arterial-phase, contrast-enhanced CT scan shows the left superior epigastric artery (arrow) immediately caudal to the stomal site.
No extravasation. Adjacent image shows the more proximal segment of superior epigastric artery (arrow). (B) Selected internal mammary arteriogram shows a large branch (arrow) of the superior epigastric artery encircling the stomal site. (C) This branch was embolized with coils (arrows) placed distal and proximal to the stomal site. No further bleeding was noted.
Dierential Diagnosis
Iatrogenic superior epigastric artery hemorrhage.
Essential Facts
• Major complications of percutaneous gastrostomy tube (pGT) placement (3–6%) include sepsis, peritonitis, major wound infections, peritoneal leakage of bowel contents, hemorrhage, dislodgment of the pGT prior to tract formation, and traversal of nontarget structures that
leads to signicant morbidity.
• Minor complications (, 10%) include mild wound infections responding to antibiotics, delayed dislodgment, clogging, leakage after stomal tract maturation, and minor bleeding.
• Bleeding can occur by puncture of systemic arterial branches (most commonly) or varices, and it is typically self-limiting. Injury to medium-sized arterial branches such as the gastroepiploic (most commonly), the gastroduodenal, the left gastric, or the short gastric arteries usually requires arterial embolization.
• Injury of the superior epigastric artery causes a rectus sheath hematoma and bleeding at the stomal site. Embolization is performed by catheterizing the feeding internal mammary artery and performing selective coil embolization of the superior epigastric proximal and distal
to the aected segment to avoid reperfusion by the inferior
epigastric artery. This “back door–front door” technique is performed whenever possible for iatrogenic arterial injury.
• During pGT placement, the most common arterial injury requiring embolization is the gastroepiploic artery, which courses along the greater curvature of the stomach and may cross the intended stomal site (mid-body of the
stomach) in cases of inadequate gastric insuation or
anomalous gastric positioning.
• Dislodgment of a pGT after mature tract formation and the related condition of buried bumper syndrome (progressive impaction of the internal pGT retainer within hypertrophied gastric mucosa) lead to an
uninjectable pGT with erythema and swelling. Treatment is replacement through the existing tract. Continued use of the pGT for enteral feeding can lead to major complications such as abscess or necrotizing fasciitis, requiring percutaneous drainage or surgical debridement.
• Dislodgment of a pGT prior to mature tract formation (, 2 weeks) causes leakage of feeds into the peritoneum if no gastropexy anchors have been left in place. Peritonitis may result. Treatment is laparotomy, peritoneal lavage, and if the pGT can be salvaged, surgical gastropexy.
• Traversal of the colon often presents with sepsis and peritonitis requiring laparotomy, peritoneal lavage, and intravenous antibiotics. Delayed presentation after tract maturation is described and may not require surgery.
• Malignant seeding of the tract has been described in patients with head and neck cancer who are undergoing pull-type pGT placement (bumper-retained pGT pulled down esophagus to stomach). Push-type (antegrade dilation using the Seldinger technique) may be preferable in these patients.
Pearls and Pitfalls
Routine imaging prior to uoroscopic pGT placement is
unnecessary, but existing studies should be reviewed to exclude abnormal gastric positioning and intervening normal or pathologic structures that may prevent safe placement.
Radiographs and CT scans that show superimposition
of the colon and stomach do not contraindicate pGT
placement because in most cases, air insuation of the
stomach leads to inferior displacement of the colon.
For additional guidance of pGT placement, oral barium
contrast may be given the evening prior to pGT placement to demonstrate the transverse colon.
Sonography can be used if hepatic, splenic, or vascular
interposition is suspected.
CT guidance of pGT placement may be required for
nonroutine cases, particularly after prior gastric surgery.

(A) Conventional venography with the right arm in neutral position shows minimal to no compression at the thoracic outlet (arrow). (B) Conventional
arteriography with the left arm in neutral position shows mild stenosis of the subclavian artery at the thoracic outlet (arrow). (C) Abduction of the right arm results in subclavian vein compression (arrow). This eect was bilateral. (D) Abduction of the left arm results in subclavian artery compression (arrow).
This eect was bilateral.
Dierential Diagnosis
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS): Indicated by arterial
and venous compression at the thoracic outlet that worsens with abduction.
Essential Facts
• TOS is compression of the brachial plexus, subclavian vein, and subclavian artery within the thoracic outlet by normal or anomalous structures. Nerve (brachial plexus) compression is the most common type of TOS (95%), followed by venous compression (3–4%) and arterial (1–2%) compression.
Contributing structures include the rst rib, the anterior scalene muscle, the tendon of the subclavius muscle, exostoses, posttraumatic pseudarthroses, and anomalous cervical ribs.
• Associations include a history of musculoskeletal injury, motor vehicle accident, and subluxation.
• Presentation depends on which structures are compressed and may include symptoms of nerve compression such as numbness or weakness, symptoms of venous compression such as arm swelling, and symptoms of arterial compression such as exercise fatigue, pallor, pain, muscle cramping, and blue digits. Left untreated, arterial TOS can lead to stenosis, post­stenotic dilatation, luminal irregularity, frank aneurysm formation, and distal thromboembolism.
• Physical exam and imaging of TOS include stress maneuvers:
◦ Adson’s maneuver consists of pulse and symptom
evaluation during inhalation with the head turned toward the symptomatic side and the arm extended.
◦ Wright’s test consists of pulse and symptom evaluation
during hyperabduction and external rotation of the arm.
• Radiographs commonly show cervical ribs, osteophytes, healed fractures, or exostoses.
Doppler ultrasound may show no ow or doubling of peak systolic velocity from neutral to hyperabduction.
• CT angiography is performed in hyperabduction and may show arterial compression, subclavian artery defects, and the structure causing compression.
• Conventional angiography may be the best test to detect distal thromboembolism (digital arteries) and facilitate performance of thrombolysis. Injections should be performed in the neutral and hyperabducted positions.
• Treatment options:
◦ Endovascular thrombolysis and thrombectomy treat
arterial or venous thrombosis and distal arterial thromboembolism. These options can be performed prior to surgical management.
◦ Surgical management involves resection of the rst rib,
cervical rib or bony exostosis, release of the insertion of the anterior scalene muscle, resection of the subclavius
muscle tendon, and in cases of xed, severe subclavian
artery stenosis or aneurysm, arterial bypass, or surgical reconstruction. Acute upper extremity ischemia associated with TOS portends a poor postsurgical outcome.
◦ Some endovascular options used only after surgical
decompression include angioplasty to treat xed
stenoses, webs, and synechiae, as well as stent grafts to treat aneurysms.
Pearls and Pitfalls
üPostsurgical results are good to excellent in 86% and
poor to fair in 13% of cases.
üArterial and venous compression can be an incidental
nding in 50% of asymptomatic patients. Treatment is reserved for the clinical syndrome described.

Imaging Findings
A, B C, D
(A) Three-dimensional, volume-rendered, contrast-enhanced CT scan of the posterior aspect of the aorta shows a linear aortic lling defect (arrows)
bisecting the aorta and extending into the right iliac arteries. The density of the left half (large arrowhead) is lower than that of the right half (small arrowhead). (B) Aortogram with a pigtail catheter in the left half of the aorta (small arrowhead) shows strong opacication of the left lumbar and iliac arteries but only faint opacication of right iliac arteries (large arrowhead) and no visible mesenteric, right lumbar, or renal arteries. (C) Sharp puncture from the left to the right aortic lumens and balloon fenestration of the intimal ap. (D) Repeat aortogram from the left aortic lumen shows new right iliac (arrow) and femoral opacication as well as new visualization of the right renal, right lumbar, and inferior mesenteric arteries.
Dierential Diagnosis
Aortic dissection treated by endovascular intimal fenestration.
Essential Facts
• Aortic dissection is a tear in the intima of the aorta with dissection of blood into the media. Approximately 50% of cases involve the descending aorta only, and 50% involve either the ascending aorta only or the ascending and descending aorta.
• The clinical presentation is usually ripping chest pain but varies with location and involvement of great vessels, aortic valve, pericardial sac, and coronary arteries. The mortality rate is 1% per hour for the rst 48 hours.
• Risk factors include atherosclerotic disease, trauma, bicuspid aortic valve, coarctation, pregnancy, cocaine use, cystic medial necrosis, some connective tissue diseases (Marfan’s syndrome, Ehlers–Danlos syndrome), and homocystinuria.
Stanford classication:
◦ Type A: ascending aorta ◦ Type B: distal to subclavian artery origin
DeBakey classication:
◦ Type I: ascending aorta, arch, descending aorta ◦ Type II: limited to ascending aorta ◦ Type III: limited to descending aorta distal to the origin
of the left subclavian artery
Imaging options:
◦ CT/CT angiography (CTA), MR/MR angiography (MRA),
and transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) have similar
diagnostic yields with high sensitivity and specicity
for dissection. TEE allows fast bedside examination of unstable patients and may show type B entry/reentry sites not visible on CTA and type A coronary involvement,
pericardial eusion, and aortic regurgitation.
◦ CT/CTA oers the best anatomic delineation of aortic
dissection from the arch to the pelvis and accurately
shows dissection aps, true and false lumens, and organ
perfusion and rupture.
◦ Conventional angiography provides excellent
demonstration of branch vessel perfusion by the true and false lumen and is reserved for guidance of endovascular treatment, surgical planning, or evaluation and treatment of complications.
Treatment options: ◦ Type A is treated surgically and emergently to prevent
propagation to the aortic root with rupture, pericardial tamponade, or coronary artery obstruction. Options include fenestration, open aortic grafts, and stent grafts.
◦ Type B is usually treated medically with
antihypertensives and analgesics unless there is rupture, refractory hypertension, or organ ischemia (present in this case). Organ ischemia may necessitate endovascular options such as stents, stent grafts, intimal fenestration, or some combination of these.
◦ Fenestration is puncturing across the intimal ap and
creating a rent between the false and true lumens to restore perfusion to excluded organs. Balloon dilatation of the rent is a common strategy.
◦ Stents and stent grafts can be used to tack down the
intimal ap, revascularize compromised branch vessels, or seal the proximal entry point of the ap.
Pearls and Pitfalls
üStanford classication dictates treatment and has
largely replaced the DeBakey classication.
üCystic medial necrosis occurs with aging and connective
tissue diseases such as Marfan’s syndrome. Breakdown of smooth muscle and connective tissue in the media predisposes patients to dissection.

Imaging Findings
C, D E
(A) Arterial-phase, contrast-enhanced CT scan shows a large, partially thrombosed aneurysm supplied by the splenic artery. (B) Additional slice shows that the eerent splenic artery segment is of normal caliber. Therefore, the aneurysm involves the mid-portion of the splenic artery. Images A, B shown on previous
page. (C) Selective celiac arteriography shows the aneurysm to be saccular, with a narrow neck (arr ow). Left gastric branches (arrowhead) are not involved, although in some cases, these branches can anastomose with splenic artery branches to feed splenic artery pseudoaneurysms. (D) Delayed image shows the distal splenic artery to be of normal caliber (arrow). (E) The main splenic artery was embolized with coils (arrow) across the neck of the pseudoaneurysm.
Dierential Diagnosis
Splenic artery aneurysm.
Essential Facts
• The splenic artery is the most common location for visceral artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms (SAAs: splenic artery aneurysms) and the second most common location overall after the aortoiliac artery. They account for 60% of cases, are more common in women, peak in the sixth decade of life, and range in size from , 1 cm to . 8 cm in diameter.
• The most common etiology is pancreatitis. Segmental
arterial mediolysis (SAM) and bromuscular dysplasia
(FMD) may cause aneurysms of the main splenic artery and segmental branches. Mycotic aneurysms from septic
emboli usually aect peripheral branches and branch
points. Unlike FMD, SAM has a predilection for the celiac distribution. Other causes of SAAs include Ehlers–Danlos syndrome type IV, Marfan’s syndrome, pregnancy, portal hypertension, splenomegaly, and atherosclerosis. Wegener’s granulomatosis and polyarteritis nodosa can cause microaneurysms of the visceral arteries.
• Patients are usually asymptomatic (incidentally discovered SAAs) but may present with pain and compressive symptoms. Rupture occurs in 2 to 10% of cases (more common in pregnant women in the third trimester) with a high rate of mortality (35–90%). Rupture presents with left upper quadrant pain radiating to the scapula and hypotension.
• Imaging considerations:
◦ CT scan may show signs of pancreatitis: a round,
enhancing structure on arterial-phase images and a
hematoma lling the lesser sac, suggesting a ruptured
SAA. The combination of rupture into the lesser sac and peritoneum is called the “double rupture phenomenon” and is typically catastrophic.
• Treatment options: ◦ Treatment is recommended for large SAAs (. 2 cm),
symptomatic SAAs, or rapidly enlarging SAAs. Surveillance CT scans every 6 to 12 months are sometimes recommended with aneurysms , 2 cm, particularly in older patients (. 60 years of age).
◦ Fusiform or wide-necked SAAs of the main splenic artery
are routinely managed by embolization with coils or plugs proximal and distal to the aneurysm (back door– front door) or by surgical ligation at these locations.
Collateral ow reconstitutes the more distal splenic
artery and branches via the short gastric, left gastric, gastroepiploic, and pancreatic branches, preventing splenic infarction and abscess in the majority of cases.
◦ Saccular, narrow-necked, or branch artery SAAs may
be treated by packing the aneurysm with coils or embolizing the feeding branch.
◦ Large aneurysms of the splenic hilum are treated with
splenectomy; distal pancreatectomy may be required if the body and tail of the pancreas are involved.
◦ Unruptured mycotic aneurysms are treated with
antibiotics prior to embolization.
◦ Intrasplenic aneurysms are treated by coil embolization
of the aected branch(es) or by splenectomy.
◦ Covered stents and ow-diverting stents have been
described, particularly for proximal aneurysms of the main splenic artery. This segment is less tortuous and more amenable to stent placement.
Pearls and Pitfalls
üMycotic aneurysms tend to occur at branch points and
may result from thromboembolism. The most common source of peripheral artery thromboembolism is the heart.
üPseudoaneurysms are distinguished from aneurysms
by disruption of one or more layers of the arterial wall. Causes include pancreatitis, peptic ulcer disease, trauma, and iatrogenic injury.

Imaging Findings
C, D
(A, B) Coronal reformatted contrast-enhanced CT images show a large aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm adjacent to the hepatic artery (HA), displacing
the pancreatic head. Low density adjacent to the sac may represent intraluminal thrombus or edema within the pancreatic head. Peripancreatic edema surrounds the body and tail consistent with pancreatitis. An internal–external biliary drain is in place. Images A, B shown on previous page. (C, D) Conven­tional aortogram shows the sac (arrows) communicating directly with the HA (arrowhead) at the expected location of the gastroduodenal artery (GDA),
which is not opacied. No neck separates the sac from the HA. (E) The sac was traversed with a 5-Fr catheter to select the more distal GDA (arrow). The sac is actually a markedly enlarged GDA.

• This case reviews the wide array of treatment options for visceral artery aneurysms or pseudoaneurysms (PSAs).
• Common etiologies:
◦ Local infection and inammation resulting from
conditions such as pancreatitis or cholecystitis are the most common etiologies. Pancreatitis can cause true aneurysms or PSAs, most commonly involving the splenic, gastroduodenal, and gastroepiploic arteries.
◦ Septic thromboembolic disease most commonly originates
from endocarditis and causes mycotic aneurysms that are commonly multiple and tend to occur at branch points.
◦ Trauma is a common cause of PSAs. In the abdomen,
hepatic and splenic lacerations are the most common etiology of traumatic PSAs.
◦ Connective tissue diseases (e.g., Ehlers–Danlos syndrome),
vasculitis (e.g., Takayasu’s arteritis), and noninammatory
vasculopathies (e.g., segmental arterial mediolysis and
bromuscular dysplasia) can cause visceral aneurysms.
◦ Iatrogenic PSAs may be caused by percutaneous or
endoscopic puncture and intervention, by inadvertent injury during surgery, or as a complication of arterial anastomosis (e.g., liver transplantation).
• Endovascular treatment techniques for visceral artery aneurysms and PSAs:
◦ Coil or plug embolization of the inow and outow, also
called back door–front door (BD-FD) embolization:
This option is optimal when there is adequate length
of aerent and eerent artery for placement of the embolic agent and when the aected artery can be safely sacriced.
In the presented case, no aerent GDA was present,
necessitating coil embolization of the sac itself
spleen is maintained by the gastroepiploic artery.
◦ Packing coils within the aneurysm:
This option is optimal for saccular aneurysms to
preserve the parent artery. A small neck facilitates coil packing without coil loss into the parent artery, as does the newer technology of retractable coils.
Visceral artery PSAs are prone to rupture when over-
packed.
For fusiform or wide-necked aneurysms, this option
is performed when the aected artery can be safely sacriced.
◦ Stents:
Bare stents can be used in the parent artery of a wide-
neck saccular aneurysm to facilitate packing of the aneurysm with coils while preventing coil migration.
Stent graft placement can be used to exclude
aneurysms and PSAs, as long as they are adequately seated proximally and distally (to avoid a type I endoleak) and as long as no feeding and draining arteries will continue to perfuse the aneurysm or PSA after stent graft placement (type II endoleak). In the latter case, stent grafts can be combined with coil embolization of the aneurysm.
◦ Percutaneous thrombin injection:
This technique is an option for narrow-neck PSAs.
For large-neck PSAs, the risk of distal embolization may be too great for thrombin injection. Increments of 100 IU of thrombin in 0.1 mL of saline are slowly injected under ultrasound monitoring until thrombosis is observed, typically requiring a total of 200 to 750 IU of thrombin. Complications include distal embolization and allergic reaction to thrombin.
