Hemosuccus pancreaticus is a very rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding and can be life-threatening if not managed appropriately. Still thought to be a surgical problem, advances in medical therapy now afford these patients the opportunity to undergo less-invasive angiography techniques to manage this illness when it occurs. Here, we present a case of hemosuccus pancreaticus safely managed with liquid N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate embolization.

Article Synopsis
- Hemosuccus pancreaticus is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, linked to the pancreatic duct, with only about 150 cases reported by 2021.
- Without treatment, the condition has a high mortality rate of up to 90%, but intervention can reduce it to 25%-37%.
- A case study of a 64-year-old woman showed successful treatment of her pancreatic hematoma and pseudoaneurysm through angiographic embolization, emphasizing the importance of advanced imaging and multidisciplinary care in managing this condition.

Hemosuccus pancreaticus (HP) is characterized by gastrointestinal bleeding from the papilla of Vater via the pancreatic duct. In this report, we describe a case of HP due to arterial perforation in a pancreatic pseudocyst and discuss the computed tomography (CT) findings and efficacy of stent graft placement. A 64-year-old man with a history of heavy alcohol use, situs inversus totalis, and total gastrectomy was hospitalized with hematochezia.
