Reviewer's report: 
General 
The manuscript presents an interesting retrospective case series of 9 patients with bleeding pseudoaneurysms in chronic pancreatitis. Although the number of patients is small and a potential selection bias might influence a subgroup comparison, we do however think that the article would be 
interesting to appear in print. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Major Compulsory Revisions (that the author must respond to before a decision on publication can 
be reached) 
The major compulsory revisions were satisfactorily performed and subsequent changes of the manuscript done by the authors. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Minor Essential Revisions (such as missing labels on figures, or the wrong use of a term, which the 
author can be trusted to correct) 
A minor essential revision concerning the title was not corrected, however. It is not clear from the 
presented data how the diagnosis of a "bleeding" pseudoaneurysm was achieved in the last two 
patients that presented only with abdominal pain. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Discretionary Revisions (which the author can choose to ignore) 
The conclusion in question was deleted. 
 Accept after minor essential revisions What next?: 
 An article of importance in its field Level of interest: 
 Needs some language corrections before being published Quality of written English: 
 No Statistical review:
