False aneurysm of the hepatic artery after laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Purpose: A rare complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy is defined: iatrogenic injuries
to hepatic artery system which may evolve to pseudoaneurysms in the late postoperative
period. This rare phenomenon may be overlooked and pose a challenge to surgeons.
Material and methods: We will describe three cases with iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms after
laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The onset of symptoms and the course of the disease was
not uniform. Diagnosis was made after a considerable delay. In the first case, a small …

False aneurysm of the hepatic artery after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a rare but potentially fatal complication
CN Petersen, UH Sigild - Ugeskrift for Laeger, 2008 - europepmc.org
Pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy,
potentially fatal due to the high risk of bleeding. The diagnosis requires Doppler UL and CT.
The optimal treatment is coil embolization. We report a case where a 35 year-old woman
presented with a false aneurysm of the right hepatic artery two weeks after an uncomplicated
laparoscopic cholecystectomy and was successfully treated with coil embolization.
