Acute Pancreatitis Caused by Hemobilia: An Unusual Complication of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in a Patient With History of ROUX-EN-Y Gastric Bypass
Acute pancreatitis as a result of hemobilia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a rare vascular complication with a challenging clinical diagnosis and treatment approach not eminent or available. We are reporting the fourth case of acute pancreatitis after laparoscopic cholecystectomy caused by hemobilia secondary to a right hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm. To our knowledge, this is the first such case reported in the United States.
