[Hemobilia as a late complication after laparoscopic cholecystectomy--endovascular treatment].

Abstract

A case of 57-year-old woman with hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm associated with fistula into the biliary tract following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Because of mechanical barrier presence, constricted the blood vessel leading blood into the aneurysm, endovascular embolization with histoacrylate glu was used as a treatment. The use of histoacrylate glu is an effective alternative in hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms treatment, which allowed to get haemostasis by endovascular embolization, especially in cases when it is impossible to use standardly applied microcoils.
