Abstract

We present a case of pancreatitis with secondary pseudoaneurysm formation in a branch of the hepatic artery, which fistulated into the common bile duct following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. This aneurysm manifested itself clinically with recurrent haematemesis, and was treated by embolisation of the anterior and posterior branches of the right hepatic artery.
