The morbidity rate after pancreatic head resections still remains high—in the range of 22% to 65%. 1–10 A pancreatic fistula and delayed gastric empting (DGE) are characteristic complications of a pancreatic resection. DGE is not a lethal complication, and the incidence of DGE has been reduced by a novel reconstruction method. 11 Intraabdominal hemorrhage, with an incidence varying between 2% and 8% in most series, has been reported as a less common complication after a pancreaticoduodenectomy. 12–17 However, the morbidity rate of intraabdominal hemorrhage increases from 6% to 26% if a pancreatic fistula and intraabdominal abscess occur. 13, 14, 16, 18 Moreover, the mortality rate for an intraabdominal hemorrhage has been reported to range from 18% to 38% after a pancreaticoduodenectomy, although the mortality rate has decreased to less than 5% with recent advances in surgical techniques and perioperative management. 12–16Intraabdominal bleeding generally presents as emergent massive bleeding, and the prevention and immediate management of intraabdominal hemorrhage are important issues to decrease the mortality rate in pancreaticoduodenectomy. Therefore, it is considered to be important to identify any signs before the onset of massive intraabdominal hemorrhage. Angiography is
