Delayed hemobilia due to hepatic artery pseudo-aneurysm: a pitfall of laparoscopic cholecystectomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm as a complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered a rare, potentially life threatening condition. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of late onset hemobilia presenting 8 months following elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy with complex biliary and vascular injury. The patient was treated surgically with primary repair of the aneurysm and hepaticojujenostomy. CONCLUSION A high index of suspicion should be raised when encountering a patient with massive upper GI bleeding and a previous history of hepatobiliary manipulation or surgery regardless of postoperative period.

متن کاملHemobilia Due to an Iatrogenic Arteriobiliary Fistula Complicating Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Case Report
Hemobilia is the result of a pathological communication between bile duct and intra or extrahepatic vessel. 40% to 60% of the haemobilia cases are Iatrogenic, and the other causes are either vascular malformations or hepatic blunt trauma. We describe the case history of a patient in which laparoscopic cholecystectomy was complicated 3 months later by massive hemobilia. The cause of haemorrhage ...
متن کاملSevere Hemobilia from Hepatic Artery Pseudoaneurysm
Background. Hemobilia is a rare, jeopardizing complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy coming upon usually within 4 weeks after surgery. The first-line management is angiographic coil embolization of hepatic arteries, which is successful in the majority of bleedings: in a minority of cases, a second embolization or even laparotomy is needed. Case Presentation. We describe the case history o...
