| Summary: | <p>Although mortality after pancreatectomy in high-volume centers is less than 3%, morbidity is still</p><p>as high as 18-52%. Postpancreatectomy vasculary complication is less frequent but much mortal than</p><p>anastomotic problems. Postpancreatectomy vasculary complication is a life-threatening entity and it must</p><p>be managed urgently. Here we report a case treated with emergent laparotomy for delayed liver ischemia</p><p>and massive bleeding after total pancreatectomy. Patient was discharged without any complication at the</p><p>3rd week of emergent laparotomy for aneurismatic hemorrhage.</p><p>Upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the late postoperative period following pancreatoduodenectomy</p><p>should alert the surgeon to the possibility of a ruptured visceral vasculary pseudoaneurysm.</p> |
