Pancreatitis can cause several venous and arterial vascular complications. Major vascular complications of pancreatitis are mostly seen in chronic pancreatitis (7-10%). Venous thromboses are more commonly reported. The splenic vein and less frequently the portal vein are predilection thrombus sites.  The arterial complications are more uncommon and maybe life-threatening in some cases.
