Ischemic cholangiopathy secondary to endoscopic treatment of bleeding duodenal ulcer.

Case report of a patient with a duodenal ulcer, initially treated with sclerosing agents, as is common practice for most bleeding ulcers. However, the evolution following this treatment is unusual. The patient developed secondary ischemic cholangitis, leading to extensive aerobilia and secondary portal pneumatosis, accompanied by inflammatory changes in the head of the pancreas. All of this occurred as a result of ischemia caused by the sclerosing agents.
