Abstract
In our case a patient with chronic pancreatitis developed acute bleeding into the gastrointestinal tract to the perforation of a pseudoaneurysm into pancreatic pseudocyst in the area of the pancreatic body. The diagnosis of hemosuccus pancreaticus established by endoscopy and postcontrast CT examination was confirmed by angiography.
We stopped the acute bleeding from the pseudoaneurysm, unusually well supplied by both gastric arteries, by embolizing both arteries with metallic coils
