Pseudoaneurysm (PA) of the hepatic artery is a rare complication abdominal trauma, iatrogenic injuries (biopsy, endoscopic cholecystectomy, liver transplantation), infections, tumors, vasculitis, acute and chronic pancreatitis. This case report presents life-threatening complications in patient who underwent surgery for lesion. Due to use CT angiography, it was possible determine cause bleeding...

CONTEXT Pseudoaneurysm of the hepatic artery after a pancreaticoduodenectomy is a serious complication, which should always be considered in the differential diagnosis when late bleeding has occurred. CASE REPORT We report a case of pseudoaneurysmal rupture of the common hepatic artery into the biliodigestive anastomosis. A 55 year old female patient with a history of pancreatic head cancer u...

BACKGROUND Ruptured hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare condition that is life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated rapidly. We present a case of a spontaneously ruptured hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm that occurred after a blunt trauma, and provide a review of the current literature on this topic. This case study demonstrates a spontaneously ruptured hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm which ...

Visceral artery aneurysms and visceral artery pseudoaneurysms frequently present as life-threatening emergencies. Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm (HAP) is a very rare disease but in cases of complication, there is a very high mortality. The most common cause of HAP is iatrogenic trauma such as liver biopsy, transhepatic biliary drainage and cholecystectomy. We present a case of hepatic artery pse...

Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A high index of suspicion and early identification and therapy are important points needed to prevent rupture. We report a case of complex biliary and vascular injuries 4 weeks after a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The patient had recurrent bleeding from a hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm that has been treated su...

Iatrogenic injury to hepatic duct leading to pseudoaneurysm and haemobilia can occur following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We report a case of a 60 years old man presenting with haematemesis found to have pseudoaneurysm of accessory hepatic artery 4 months after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Diagnosis was made by computed tomography (CT) scan followed by celiac and mesenteric artery angiogram...

DESCRIPTION A 25-year-old man presented to the emergency department with haematemesis, which was occasionally repeated during the last 3 months. The patient had been severely beaten 3 months ago. Gastroscopy was performed to identify the reason of haematemesis, but we did not find any pathological condition in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a lesion, which ...

Rupture of a right hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm into the gallbladder is very rare. We demonstrated a 20-mm dumbbell-shaped pseudoaneurysm in the gallbladder lumen by using contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography in a 73-year-old man with acute right upper abdominal pain. Inflammation of the gallbladder caused by calculous cholecystitis, which leads to biliary leakage and erodes the ri...

Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm (HAP) is an infrequently encountered entity, usually seen secondary to blunt or penetrating trauma. The clinical presentation is often due to complications such as intrahepatic or intraperitoneal bleeding as a result of rupture of the pseudoaneurysm. Diagnosis is frequently delayed and made by splanchnic angiography. HAP associated with a liver abscess, has very ra...

Gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to rupture of a hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is rare. We report the case of a 61-year-old woman, who was admitted to our institution with hematemesis and melena. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy failed to reveal any significant abnormality. Computed tomography scan showed an aneurysm arising from the hepatic artery. A selective ang...
