Thrombin was first described as an aneurysmal occlusion agent in 1986. Since that time its therapeutic potential has been increasingly recognized. Percutaneous injection of thrombin has been reported as effective in the management of femoral pseudoaneurysms [1] [2]. We present a case of pancreatic pseudoaneurysm of the splenic artery, which was successfully treated using a new approach that consisted of thrombin injection under endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guidance.
