Postpancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) bleeding, which is reported to occur in 5–7%, is a major complication that often causes life‐threatening secondary events. A transarterial catheter technique with coil embolization is a widespread procedure that could potentially cause massive hepatic infarction and subsequent sepsis with hepatic abscess, which can be a fatal complication. Here, we introduce a new transarterial technique that uses a hemostat with a stent graft, which successfully rescued a patient had suffered post‐PD bleeding.
