Haemobilia: a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding

ABSTRACT

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. The bleeding was successfully treated with coil embolization
