Here, we report a case of chronic pancreatitis with a pseudoaneurysm of the LGA. A 42-year-old male, a chronic alcoholic, and smoker, presented with abdominal pain, haematemesis, and melena.

The endovascular coil embolization was done successfully, following which the patient had an uneventful recovery.
