although gastrointestinal bleeding is common, hemobilia due to the rupture of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is uncommon. we report a case of hemobilia which was successfully treated via angiography.

INTRODUCTION Percutaneous transhepatic portal embolization is often performed to expand the indications for hepatic resection. Various etiologies of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm have been reported, but regardless of the etiology, hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is usually managed with an endovascular approach or open surgery, depending on the location and clinical symptomatology. However, it is ...

OBJECTIVE To report a rare case of right hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm complicating acute pancreatitis based upon imaging findings obtained before and after the development of pseudoaneurysm. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 32-year-old male with a history of acute pancreatitis 1 year prior was readmitted for acute pancreatitis. Computed tomography (CT) and angiography after admission...

A very uncommon complication of acute cholecystitis is the development of a pseudoaneurysm in an arterial branch of the hepatic artery. We report a rare case of a patient with acute cholecystitis who presented with a pseudoaneurysm of the right anterior hepatic artery complicated by necrosis of the bile duct and hepatic infarction. A 70-year-old woman attended the emergency department with an u...

Objective: We report a rare but serious case of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage from hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm. Clinical Presentation and Intervention: An 11-yearold child with a history of hepatic trauma 6 months before was admitted for hematemesis and melena. Repeat ultrasound examination showed a 3.6 ! 2.8 cm anechoic area with clear border in the right hepatic lobe. Selective angiogra...

Hemorrhage from ruptured pseudoaneurysm is a rapidly progressing and potentially fatal complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Stent graft placement for hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm has recently been reported as a valid alternative to transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). We report a case of pseudoaneurysm of the common hepatic artery (CHA) with distal arterial stenosis treated b...

Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms are a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding with a high mortality rate. We report a case of a 37-year-old woman who presented with massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage and was found to have an arterioenteric fistula from a hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a 1.5-cm ulcer overlying a large mucosal bulge that compressed the lu...

Most hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms (HAPA) are post traumatic, and non-traumatic pseudoaneurysm is rarely reported. It is a potentially life threatening vascular disorder and difficult to diagnose before rupture. Early diagnosis and prompt nonoperative intervention of this lesion could be life saving. The authors report the case of a patient with hemobilia caused by ruptured right hepatic arter...
