ABSTRACT
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. 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 revealed pseudoaneurysm of the right hepatic artery. Transcatheter arterial embolization with coils was used to successfully treat the pseudoaneurysm. A CT and angiography 1 year earlier did not reveal any pseudoaneurysm. This patient with a rare right hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm complicating acute pancreatitis was successfully treated with coil embolization
