  • Title: Pseudoaneurysm of the proper hepatic artery with duodenal fistula appearing as a late complication of blunt abdominal trauma.
    Author: Aboujaoude M, Noel B, Beaudoin M, Ghattas G, Lalonde L, The Bao Bui, Oliva VL.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1996 Jan; 40(1):123-5. PubMed ID: 8576975.
    Abstract:
    Posttraumatic pseudoaneurysms of the hepatic artery are rare and usually occur as a complication of open abdominal trauma. Even less common is the coexisting presence of enteric fistulization. We report a patient with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurring 3 years after blunt abdominal trauma resulting from a pseudoaneurysm of the proper hepatic artery with duodenal fistulization. The patient was treated successfully by ligation of the proper hepatic artery and closure of the duodenal opening.
