Abstract
A 52-year old woman was admitted to the hospital because of upper abdo minal pain and hematemesis. Laboratory parameters showed marked choles tasis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) lead to t he diagnosis of hemobilia. CT-scan and angiography revealed an aneurys m of the cystic artery as the cause of hemobilia. Cholecystectomy was performed because of concomitant cholecystitis. Anatomical examination confirmed clinical diagnosis.
