Pseudoaneurysm of gastroduodenal artery associated with mitral valve prolapse presenting as haemobilia.

ABSTRACT

Pseudoaneurysms of the hepatic or gastroduodenal arteries may cause Haemobilia. Mitral valve prolapse associated with mycotic pseudoaneurysm of cerebral and extracerebral arteries have been reported. We report a case of gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm presenting as haemobilia. The patient was successfully treated with indigenously fabricated steel coil embolization followed by surgery.
