OBJECTIVE: The aim of this pictorial essay is to illustrate the radiologic patterns, sites of bleeding, and vascular interventional techniques used in the management of postpancreatectomy hemorrhage. CONCLUSION: Hemorrhagic complications occur in fewer than 10% of patients after Whipple pancreatoduodenectomy but account for as many as 38% of deaths. Bleeding typically occurs from the stump of the gastroduodenal artery, but other sites of bleeding are increasingly recognized.
