VASCULAR COMPLICATIONS OF PANCREATITIS.

Vascular complications of pancreatitis are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Arterial complications include haemorrhage from direct arterial erosion or pseudoaneurysm formation, and visceral ischaemia.

This review, with illustrative cases, describes the main manifestations of these complications and emphasizes the importance of early radiological diagnosis and intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
