ABSTRACT
@#Pancreatic pseudoaneurysms are possible complications of chronic pancreatitis. These may present as hemosuccus pancreaticus, a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding where a pseudoaneurysm erodes into an adjacent pseudocyst or pancreatic duct, manifesting as bleeding through the pancreatic duct into the duodenal papilla. We report a case of a 32-year-old male with a history of chronic pancreatitis presenting as intermittent upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding secondary to hemosuccus pancreaticus from a pancreatic pseudoaneurysm. The patient underwent multiple sessions of endovascular embolization, which successfully controlled the bleeding despite some failed attempts; thus, a potentially morbid last-resort surgery was avoided.
