A pancreatic pseudoaneurysm is a rare but life-threatening clinical entity. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are of great clinical importance. We herein present an unusual case of a pseudoaneurysm of the posterior inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery that developed as a complication of chronic pancreatitis. It was detected in a timely manner and successfully treated with minimally invasive endovascular therapy.
