Abstract
|
|
|
|
Gastrointestinal bleeding from the biliary tree, called hemobilia, is an uncommon event. It may clinically present as hematemesis or melena. Ruptured cystic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare cause of hemobilia, with 2 cases reported in Korea. We present this unusual condition in a 65-year-old man whose chief complaint was abdominal pain. His final diagnosis was ruptured cystic artery pseudoaneurysm, and he was successfully treated by transcatheter arterial embolization and laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
