Gastroduodenal artery pseudo-aneurysm after cholecystectomy
Abstract:
We report the case of a 69-year-old man presenting with rupture of a pseudo-aneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery into the duodenum eight days after open cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. The surgical approach to a ruptured visceral artery pseudo-aneurysm is technically difficult and hazardous. The operative mortality rate reaches 16 to 50%, mainly dependent on the anatomic location of the visceral artery pseudo-aneurysm. This report describes a case in which bleeding from a pseudo-aneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery was successfully treated by embolisation using metal coils.
