ABSTRACT
Gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to a rupture of an aneurysm of the hepatic artery is rare. We report a case of an 81-year-old man, who was admitted with hematemesis and melena. Gastroduodenoscopy revealed an abundant bleeding from the posterior wall of the duodenal bulb. CT-scan showed an aneurysm arising from the hepatic artery. Ultrasound, computed tomography and angiography are the methods of choice for gastrointestinal bleeding diagnosis if endoscopy is inconclusive
