ABSTRACT
Preventing and curing complications of acute and chronic pancreatitis, which may be local or systemic, remains a challenge. Pseudocysts and walled-off pancreatic necrosis are two local complications that most frequently require surgical intervention. Two rare complications of pancreatitis are pseudoaneurysms and pulmonary embolism. Angiographic embolization can be the treatment of choice for pseudoaneurysms, while for pulmonary embolism apart from anticoagulation treatment, the optional inferior vena cava filter placement could be useful. As far as we know, in literature, these complications of pancreatitis have never been reported simultaneously yet.
