Fibrosing mediastinitis is a rare benign condition, which can cause compression of the pulmonary or systemic vessels, tracheobronchial tree, coronary arteries or esophagus, leading to disabling clinical symptoms and even death. The case of a 26-year-old woman who presented with dyspnea is described. She was found to have 80% stenosis of the right pulmonary artery secondary to fibrosing mediastinitis. The stenosis was managed successfully with an endovascular Palmaz-Schatz stent, and the patient remains symptom-free 10 years later.

Bleeding pseudoaneurysm is a rare but yet potentially lethal complication in a patient with chronic pancreatitis. It also poses a diagnostic challenge among the radiologists and the attending physicians. The mortality rate can be as high as 50% depending on the clinical status, patient hemodynamics, site, and characteristics of the bleeding pseudoaneurysm. Multidisciplinary team approach is essential to deliver the optimum treatment strategy to each individual patient. In this article, we present a case of chronic pancreatitis that presents with acute epigastric pain caused by ruptured pancreaticoduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm in an unusual location. This patient was successfully treated with transcatheter coil embolization.
