Overview

abstract

  • CONTEXT: 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. CASE REPORT: We report a novel endoscopic approach to hemosuccus pancreaticus with a successful tamponade via pancreatic biliary stents and resolution clips. CONCLUSION: This is the only report of endoscopy as a therapeutic modality in a case of hemosuccus pancreaticus.
