Abstract
In major arterial hemorrhage resulting from pancreatic inflammatory disease, visceral angiography can identify the site of bleeding and hemostasis can be achieved. Repeat angiography is often required with bleeding from new sites. The mortality rate is comparable to that associated with surgery and reflects multisystem involvement in acute severe pancreatitis.
