Abstract
Concerns that angiographic embolization is unable to provide definitive hemostasis in both acute and chronic pancreatitis are unfounded. In the operative treatment of chronic pancreatitis, partial pancreatectomy is superior to vessel ligation, depending on the patient's general condition and degree of pancreatic inflammation. We propose an algorithm for the management of arterial pseudoaneurysms in the setting of pancreatitis.
