Acute @entity788 was observed in 492 @entity1 . Fourteen (2.8%) developed an arterial erosion revealed by a @entity548 either in the digestive lumen, in the peritoneum or via previously placed drainage. The eroded artery was the splenic artery in six @entity1 , a @entity432 in five @entity1 . An initial haemostasis was attempted by: a) embolization in four @entity1 : one died; the three others had @entity548 recurrence. b) splenocorporeal pancreatectomy in four @entity1 , three had @entity548 recurrence. c) arterial ligature in four @entity1 : three had @entity548 recurrence. Secondary haemostatic procedures were performed in ten @entity1 but a durable haemostasis was achieved in only five @entity1 : two had a pancreatic resection and three were treated by a redo-binding. It is noteworthy that durable haemostasis could not be obtained neither by embolization nor by ligature in necrotic tissues. This could explain the difference in the results of arterial erosion treatments in chronic and in acute @entity788 . Therefore, it is suggested that haemostatic procedures should be performed away from necrotic tissues, or eventually done after their removal.
