Liver Necrosis and Hemorrhage due to Gastroduodenal Artery Pseudoaneurysm after total Pancreatectomy. Report of a case

Kurşat Rahmi Serin, Muharrem Oner and Nadir Adnan Hacım*

Although mortality after pancreatectomy in high-volume centers is less than 3%, morbidity is still

as high as 18-52%. Postpancreatectomy vasculary complication is less frequent but much mortal than

anastomotic problems. Postpancreatectomy vasculary complication is a life-threatening entity and it must

be managed urgently. Here we report a case treated with emergent laparotomy for delayed liver ischemia

and massive bleeding after total pancreatectomy. Patient was discharged without any complication at the

3rd week of emergent laparotomy for aneurismatic hemorrhage.

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the late postoperative period following pancreatoduodenectomy

should alert the surgeon to the possibility of a ruptured visceral vasculary pseudoaneurysm.
