Abstract

Arterial bleeding is a dreadful late complication of acute pancreatitis that usually mandates emergent endovascular embolization or surgery. We present the case of a massive arterial bleeding resulting from fistulization of a pseudocyst to the stomach, which was successfully managed by endoscopic injection of cyanoacrylate.
