Abstract.

Pancreatoduodenectomy has become safer, but postoperative complications, including life-threatening intraperitoneal bleeding, are still relatively common. We recently treated intraperitoneal bleeding after pancreatoduodenectomy by performing a laparotomy in conjunction with the use of a large occlusion balloon catheter. Angiography had failed to identify the site of bleeding in this patient. Our experience suggests that using a large occlusion balloon catheter to control bleeding effectively maintains an adequate surgical field in patients requiring laparotomy for hemostasis.
