Abstract
Four patients with massive hemorrhage from the celiac axis secondary to pancreatitis are presented. There were three survivors. Celiac axis arteriography was useful in making the diagnosis and determining operative management. Extended gastric resection was required in three patients. An early and continued aggressive diagnostic approach is indicated in patients with chronic pancreatitis and/or pseudocyst and significant upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
