Infected aortic pseudoaneurysms are rare, with this case linked to a celiac plexus block for pancreatitis. Successful repair was achieved using a Dacron graft via a thoracoabdominal approach.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Traumatic pseudoaneurysms of the abdominal aorta are uncommon.
  • Celiac plexus block is a treatment for chronic pancreatitis pain.

Observation:

  • A case of an infected pseudoaneurysm of the supraceliac aorta is presented.
  • The pseudoaneurysm is suspected to be secondary to a celiac plexus block.

Findings:

  • The infected aortic pseudoaneurysm was successfully repaired.
  • A Dacron graft was used in the repair.
  • The surgical approach was thoracoabdominal.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a potential complication of celiac plexus blocks.
