Context Delayed arterial hemorrhage after pancreatoduodenectomy is defined as bleeding 5 or more days postoperatively. Objective We present the management of delayed hemorrhage after PD, due to gastro-duodenal arterial stump aneurysm. Case report A sixty-nine-year-old man suffering from pancreatic head carcinoma underwent pancreatoduodenectomy. On the 12th postoperative day he developed melena. Endoscopic evaluation revealed occult bleeding coming from the afferent limb of the gastro-jejunal anastomosis. The patient was treated conservatively. On the 15th postoperative day the patient presented a new episode of melena and hematemesis. Upper abdominal series control by computer tomography, selective angiography of the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery set the diagnosis of a pseudoaneurysm of the gastro-duodenal arterial stump. The patient was managed by trans-catheter arterial embolization and complete hemostasis was achieved. Conclusion Delayed intraluminal hemorrhage after pancreatoduodenectomy may be caused after pseudoaneu-rysm due to some visceral arterial stem erosion. Initial management, both diagnostic and therapeutic, should be the angiographic control and trans-catheter embolization of the bleeding vessel. In case of hemodynamic instability or when angiographic embolism is unsuccessful reoperation is the proper treatment.
