  • Title: Hemobilia: calcified hepatic artery aneurysm presenting with massive gastrointestinal bleeding.
    Author: Balthazar EJ.
    Journal: Gastrointest Radiol; 1977 Aug 18; 2(1):71-4. PubMed ID: 308026.
    Abstract:
    A case of a calcified and ruptured hepatic artery aneurysm presenting with hemobilia and massive gastrointestinal bleeding is reported and illustrated. The clinical diagnosis should be entertained whenever the triad of findings (abdominal colic, gastrointestinal bleeding, elevated bilirubin levels) is present. Angiography is the method of choice in confirming this diagnosis. A short review of the clinical and radiographic syndrome of hemobilia with emphasis on the occurence, significance, and prognosis of hepatic artery aneurysms is presented.
