Laparoscopic cholecystectomy complications: a new case report of a right hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm that caused jaundice.

Iatrogenic vascular injuries of the hepatic artery are infrequent and a serious complication of LC. There is no doubt about the many advantages of LC when compared to open cholecystectomy. Despite this, there is an increase in the reported incidence (0.3%-1.0%) of biliary and vascular injuries. Most arterial complications are due to direct injury or diathermy shortening on surgical clips and HAP is one of them. We present a case of a 39-year old male patient who presented with this complication and how it was resolved.
