Recurrent hemobilia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Hemobilia occurred 1 month after a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the result of an aneurysm of the right branch of the hepatic artery. The aneurysm was treated by selective arterial embolization. Recurrent bleeding 28 days later was treated by embolization with platinum coils. The mechanism of occurrence of the aneurysm and its treatment are discussed.
