RESUMO
Pseudo aneurysm of cystic artery is an extremely rare complication which may occur in association with cholecystitis, liver biopsy, biliary interventions, pancreatitis and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We report the case of a 55 years old male patient who presented with complaint of right upper quadrant pain, haematemesis and melena, he underwent CT scan abdomen that revealed perforated gall bladder with cystic artery pseudo aneurysm secondary to acute cholecystitis. An angiogram was performed that confirmed small cystic artery pseudo aneurysm. Selective embolisation of cystic artery was done, resulting in complete exclusion of pseudo aneurysm. The patient recovered completely.
