Recurrent bleeding from intercostal arterial pseudoaneurysm after retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy.
We report a case of a 59-year-old man with recurrent bleeding after retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy. Computed tomography and Doppler ultrasonography confirmed an intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm as the source. Angiography 1 month later demonstrated resolution after conservative management.
