Vascular emergencies in cholelithiasis and cholecystectomy: our experience with two cases and literature review. Abstract Text:

BACKGROUND: Complications from gallstones and laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be serious and fatal if there is a delay in recognition and treatment. We aim to present two unusual, life threatening vascular complications as a result of gallstones and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Their management is highlighted with a brief review of literature. METHODS: Data for the article were gathered from clinical case note review. Radiology database was used for images. A brief literature review was undertaken using Pubmed search. The keywords used included hemobilia, pseudoaneurysm, arterio-biliary fistula and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. RESULTS: The article highlights two individual case reports. The first case constitutes an 81-year woman who had cystic arterial erosion causing hematemesis, while the second patient was a 57-year man who presented with hemobilia from a pseudoaneurysm of right hepatic artery (RHA) following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Cystic arterial erosion was treated with subtotal cholecystectomy with duodenal defect closure while the pseudoaneurysm underwent radiological intervention. CONCLUSIONS: Cystic artery erosion and pseudoaneurysm causing arteriobiliary fistula are rare vascular complications related to the biliary tree. A high index of suspicion and timely intervention is important. Trauma to arteries should be avoided during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
