An insidious case of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm secondary to acalculus cholecystitis. A 68-year-old man with expressive dysphasia presented with upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage, jaundice and abdominal pain. He was unable to tolerate ultrasound tranducer pressure. His oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) showed large blood clots in the stomach with blood trickling from the ampulla. An urgent CT angiogram demonstrated a 32 mm pseudoaneurysm within the gallbladder fossa. The patient subsequently underwent an endovascular embolisation of the pseudoaneurysm performed by the interventional radiology team.
