A rare complication of a common operation: hepatic artery pseudo aneurysm following cholecystectomy report of a case.

Background: Vascular injuries following cholecystectomy are a known entity though the incidence is low. More frequently we are seeing cases of right hepatic artery pseudo aneurysm post cholecystectomy after the advent of the laparoscopic approach.
Methods: We report a case of multiple right hepatic artery aneurysms as a complication of cholecystectomy in a 71-year-old patient.
Results: The diagnosis was confirmed by angiogram, and the patient was treated successfully with coil embolisation.
Conclusion: Though it is a rare complication, early diagnosis and treatment of postoperative pseudo aneurysm is essential to prevent life threatening bleeding.
