Tariq Bouhout, Ayoub Kharkhach, Abdelbassir Ramdani, Abdelhakim Harouachi, Badr Serji
TL;DR
A rare case of a pseudoaneurysm in the gastroduodenal artery following bile duct surgery is reported and treated with emergency surgery.
Contribution
This case highlights a rare complication of bile duct surgery and its successful management through open surgical intervention.
Findings
Pseudoaneurysm of the GDA occurred 21 days after CBD surgery.
Urgent open surgery with ligation of the GDA resolved the complication.
The case underscores the importance of recognizing rare postoperative vascular complications.
Abstract
Pseudoaneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery (GDA) is an exceptional complication of common bile duct (CBD) resection. We present the case of a 60-year-old woman with a history of cholecystectomy. The patient was admitted to our hospital for surgical management of the cystic dilatation of the CBD. The patient presented on postoperative day 21 with hemodynamic instability related to a pseudoaneurysm of the GDA. An urgent open surgery was performed with dissection and ligation of the GDA.
