Despite initial percutaneous drainage for fluid accumulation at the EJ site, subsequent CT revealed significant anastomotic dehiscence. Endoscopic treatment was ineffective and surgical intervention posed a high risk of mortality; therefore, percutaneous embolization was requested. This involved four sessions using cut gel foam, N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, and lipiodol. The procedure was successful without complications and led to complete resolution of the leakage and dehiscence.
