Abstract:
With the spread of laparoscopic cholecystectomy more and more complications are being reported. For the first time in this paper a pseudoaneurysm of the right hepatic artery as a complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a 55 year old patient is described. During embolization the aneurysm ruptured and an emergency laparotomy was performed. The right hepatic artery was ligated. The postoperative course up to follow-up at 6 months was uncomplicated.
