[Upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage associated with chronic pancreatitis and pseudocyst: report of a case].
The authors present a case of a 30 years old chronic alcoholic male with gastrointestinal bleeding. Celiac axis arteriogram demonstrated a false aneurysm of the anterior pancreatico-duodenal artery. Bleeding was controlled by embolization of the nourishing artery using the Gianturco-Wallace device and the patient left the hospital 2 days after the procedure. A partial revision of the pertaining literature is presented.
