Abstract
Pancreatic pseudoaneurysm (PSA) is a rare complication of chronic pancreatitis. Diagnosis requires high index of suspicion and urgent intervention is required once diagnosed as delayed treatment leads to poor outcomes and mortality. In this report, we discuss the case of a 30 year old male with a history of chronic pancreatitis who presented with upper gastrointestinal bleed (UGIB). Physical exam was elevated blood pressure, tachycardia and epigastric tenderness. A CT angiogram of abdomen done revealed pseudoaneurysm of pancreas. Patient emergently underwent endovascular embolization and coiling with resolution of GI bleed post procedure.
