Recurrent Hemobilia Due to Right Hepatic Artery Pseudoaneurysm.

Recurrent Hemobilia Due to Right Hepatic Artery Pseudoaneurysm. Clin Med Res. 2017 Dec 01;: Authors: Gachabayov M, Kubachev K, Mityushin S, Zarkua N Abstract Hemobilia is a potentially life-threatening clinical issue in the etiology of which iatrogenesis is playing increasingly more immense role. Nowadays the most frequent etiology of hemobilia has shifted toward iatrogenesis owing to increasingly more frequent performance of liver procedures, either open or minimally invasive. Here we report a rare case of recurrent hemobilia after transarterial embolization. A 57-year-old male patient after cholecystectomy presented with Quincke's triad. CT revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the right hepatic artery. Transarterial embolization failed, hemobilia recurred. The patient underwent open ligation of the right hepatic artery. Transarterial embolization is a definitive treatment of hemobilia due to vascular issues. The choice of embolizing agent is crucial in transarterial embolization.
