RAMIREZ, Enrique and ROSAZZA, Karla. Embolization of a pseudo aneurism of the cystic artery secondary to acute cholecystitis. Rev Med Hered [online]. 2023, vol.34, n.4, pp.223-227. Epub Dec 20, 2023. ISSN 1018-130X. http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/rmh.v34i4.5149.
We present the case of a 55-year-old male patient with a history of acute cholecystitis who presented during his hospitalization haemobilia due to a pseudoaneurysm of the cystic artery. Embolectomy of the cystic artery with polyvinyl alcohol microparticles was performed stopping the bleeding.
