[Ischemic cholangitis after ligation of the hepatic artery: a case report].
We report a case of ischemic cholangitis that occurred after ligation of the hepatic artery performed to remove a celiac neurofibroma. At seven weeks in a septic setting, the patient developed ischemic cholangitis. Ligation of the hepatic artery and dissection of the hepatic hilum to remove a neurofibroma have played a role in the development of ischemic cholangitis. Our case demonstrates that supplying peribiliary arteries are important for the biliary vascularization of the epithelium.
