Aim To retrospectively analyze results combination angioembolisation or thrombin injection followed by endoscopic transpapillary drainage for management pseudocysts. Methods Eight patients (all males; mean age ± SD: 31.2 ± 6.1 years; age range: 21–38 years) underwent radiological the pseudoaneurysm Results All had (median size 4 cm) underlying chronic pancreatitis. abdominal pain presentation 7/8 (87.5%) presented overt gastrointestinal bleeding.

Two were treated percutaneous whereas six digital subtraction angiography angioembolisation. successful through major (5) minor papilla (3) resolution was noted within 6 weeks 4 weeks). No significant complication procedure in any patients. Conclusions can be successfully safely a obliteration drainage.
