Mediastinal Pancreatic Pseudocyst With Hemorrhage and Left Gastric Artery Pseudoaneurysm, Managed With Left Gastric Artery Embolization and Placement of Percutaneous Trans-Hepatic Pseudocyst Drainage

Mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst (MPP) is a rare, but known, complication of both acute and chronic pancreatitis. Most pseudocysts are associated with alcoholic pancreatitis. Recent advances in endoscopic techniques have shown promising results, with reduced chances of infection and recurrence than with percutaneous drainage, but limited availability restricts widespread use. Left gastric artery pseudoaneurysm with mediastinal pseudocyst has not been described in the literature to date. We report a successful resolution of hemorrhagic MPP with embolization of pseudoaneurysm and percutaneous trans-hepatic pseudocyst drainage.
