Hemosuccus Pancreaticus and Obstructive Jaundice: Two Rare Complications of Chronic Pancreatitis Treated by Arterial Embolization

Abstract

AbstractThe formation of a peripancreatic pseudoaneurysm is a rare and serious complication of chronic pancreatitis. In this report, we present the case of a 56-year-old male with a history of alcohol-related chronic pancreatitis resulting in both hemosuccus pancreaticus and obstructive jaundice due to a pseudoaneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery that was treated successfully by angiographic coiling.
