【 摘 要 】

Bleeding pseudoaneurysm is a rare but yet potentially lethal complication in a patient with chronic pancreatitis. It also poses a diagnostic challenge among the radiologists and the attending physicians. The mortality rate can be as high as 50% depending on the clinical status, patient hemodynamics, site, and characteristics of the bleeding pseudoaneurysm. Multidisciplinary team approach is essential to deliver the optimum treatment strategy to each individual patient. In this article, we present a case of chronic pancreatitis that presents with acute epigastric pain caused by ruptured pancreaticoduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm in an unusual location. This patient was successfully treated with transcatheter coil embolization.
