Fig. 13. —Axial CT image of 53-year-old woman 5 weeks after distal pancreatectomy (spleen not removed) shows pseudoaneurysm of splenic artery (black arrow), which was surgically excised. Rest of artery (white arrow) is calcified. Note fluid collection around distal splenic artery (arrowhead). One reason for performing concomitant splenectomy is high incidence of splenic vessel damage during distal pancreatectomy.
