Visceral artery pseudoaneurysm (PSA) complicated by pancreatitis is a relatively rare and potentially life-threatening condition. The formation of pancreatic PSA is mainly attributed to continuous inflammation response, which induces the enzymatic autodigestion of the adjacent artery wall. The spleen artery is the most affected vessel, and other vessels such as gastroduodenal artery (GDA) and pancreaticoduodenal artery are usually involved. The treatment options for pancreatic PSA include conservative therapy, open surgery (OS), and endovascular procedure. Currently, no broad consensus on the indications for pancreatic PSA treatment is available because of the rarity of the disease. We report an urgent case of a threatened ruptured GDA PSA with duodenal necrosis complicated by chronic pancreatitis that has been treated successfully with OS. The treatment choice, puzzles, and reflections of this case were all discussed in this paper.
