Successful hemostasis by percutaneous transhepatic cyanoacrylate injection for hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm causing hemobilia

Abstract

Abstract A 73‐year‐old man, post‐liver transplantation, was scheduled for ERCP to evaluate anastomotic biliary stricture. The patient developed massive bleeding from hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm. Angiography via femoral artery could not identified feeding artery of the pseudoaneurysm. Thus, trans‐abdominal ultrasonography was performed and percutaneous transhepatic glue embolization successfully.
