title: A novel endoscopic treatment of hemosuccus pancreaticus: a stent tree tamponade.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Hemosuccus pancreaticus is a rare cause of intermittent upper gastrointestinal bleeding, commonly caused by aneurysmal rupture. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is required. The standard treatment involves embolization via interventional radiology or a surgical approach.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a novel endoscopic approach to hemosuccus pancreaticus with a successful tamponade via pancreatic biliary stents and resolution clips.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This is the only report of endoscopy as a therapeutic modality in a case of hemosuccus pancreaticus.
