Abstract
- A 72-year-old man with a history of gallstones, and complex cardiac and endocrinological comorbidities, presented with severe abdominal pain and melaena. CT mesenteric angiogram showed a cystic artery pseudoaneurysm and gallbladder distended by haematoma. Subsequent mesenteric angiography confirmed a cystic artery pseudoaneurysm, which was successfully embolised with microcoils. The patient made a rapid recovery and was discharged after 3 days.<br /> (2015 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.)
