Popis: Gastrointestinal bleeding is a morbid complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy. Determining its etiology is often a daunting challenge in that both common and unusual mechanisms may be operative. Visceral artery pseudoaneurysms, although rare, must be considered in that minimally invasive means are available for effective therapy. Our recent experience with two cases highlights the importance for both general and vascular surgeons to be aware of the diagnostic and therapeutic role for early angiography and deployment of endovascular techniques to achieve a successful outcome.
