Transcatheter arterial embolisation of a ruptured pseudoaneurysm of the lingual artery with n-butyl cyanoacrylate

Abstract

Pseudoaneurysms can arise due to localized arterial wall disruption, owing to various factors such as inflammation, trauma, neoplasm, or surgical procedures. Once ruptured, bleeding can be life-threatening. Thus, a treatment for pseudoaneurysm is necessary. We describe a case of post-surgical ruptured pseudoaneurysm of the lingual artery that was successfully treated by transcatheter embolisation with n-butyl cyanoacrylate (NCBA).
