Abstract
Vascular complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy are encountered with increasing frequency. We report a patient with a pseudoaneurysm of the right hepatic artery who presented with haemobilia following la paroscopic cholecystectomy. The patient was managed successfully with transarterial selective embolisation and remains free of symptoms 11 m onths later.
