Abstract:
Hemosuccus pancreaticus is characterized by intermittent bleeding from the ampulla of Vater due to the rupture of a pseudoaneurysm. There are significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with this rare and potentially life-threatening condition. We present a rare case in an 18-year-old man who presented with recurrent episodes of hematemesis and melena due to hemosuccus pancreaticus as a result of a left gastric artery pseudoaneurysm. Initial radiological angioembolization failed because of median arcuate ligament syndrome, and endoscopic ultrasound-guided glue embolization was successfully performed. This case further reinforces the importance of endoscopic ultrasound-guided therapy in the management of pseudoaneurysm after failed radiological treatment.
