Figure 3 Intra-arterial contrast-enhanced ultrasound (IA-CEUS) showed a hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm during thrombolysis monitoring. The patient was a 46-year-old man, 3 months after liver transplantation, who developed hepatic artery thrombosis after splenic artery embolization for splenic steal syndrome. (A) IA-CEUS showed a cystic structure adjacent to the hepatic artery. (B) IA-CEUS showed the catheter within it (). (C) Digital subtraction angiography confirmed the catheter displacement within the pseudoaneurysm. (D) Computed tomography angiography also confirmed the result.
