title = "Intra-abdominal hemorrhage as a rare complication of endoscopic ultrasonography: A case report",
abstract = "Intra-abdominal hemorrhage after endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is an uncommon complication, which can lead to potentially fatal outcomes. We describe a case of intra-abdominal hemorrhage due to left gastric arterial bleeding after EUS. The patient developed severe epigastric pain 10 h after diagnostic EUS for pancreatic cysts. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed extravasation from the left gastric artery as well as a hematoma in the lesser omentum, which was confirmed by emergent angiography. Spontaneous hemostasis was obtained without embolization and the patient did not have further episodes of intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Endoscopists should be aware of this rare but serious complication after endoscopic procedures.",
