Implication

A case demonstrates successful minimally invasive management of gastrointestinal bleeding in chronic pancreatitis, highlighting clinical challenges.

Key Points

  • The aim is to highlight the occurrence and management of hemosuccus pancreaticus resulting from a pseudoaneurysm in chronic pancreatitis.
  • Case report of a man with chronic calcific pancreatitis presenting with melena and severe anemia
  • Duodenoscopy used to identify bleeding from the ampulla of Vater
  • Computed tomography angiography performed to locate the IPDA pseudoaneurysm
  • Endovascular coil embolization executed to manage the pseudoaneurysm
  • Identification of a 6.4 cm IPDA pseudoaneurysm causing multi-organ compression
  • Complete occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm achieved through endovascular intervention
  • Demonstration of successful management of a life-threatening vascular complication
