Pseudoaneurysm of gastroduodenal artery associated with mitral valve prolapse presenting as haemobilia

Trop Gastroenterol. 2001 Oct-Dec;22(4):211-3.

Abstract

Pseudoaneurysms of the hepatic or gastroduodenal arteries may cause Haemobilia. Mitral valve prolapse associated with mycotic pseudoaneurysm of cerebral and extracerebral arteries have been reported. We report a case of gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm presenting as haemobilia. The patient was successfully treated with indigenously fabricated steel coil embolization followed by surgery.
