| Popis: | Pseudoaneurysm formation of the peripancreatic arteries is a rare but well-described complication of chronic pancreatitis. Angiography and arterial embolization are valuable means of diagnosis and treatment for bleeding peripancreatic pseudoaneurysms. 1 We present a case of obscure overt GI bleeding as a complication of coil migration after embolization of a bleeding gastroduodenal artery (GDA) pseudoaneurysm. Spiral enteroscopy-assisted pancreatoscopy was used to establish the site of bleeding in this patient with a prior lateral pancreaticojejunostomy. |
