The diagnosis requires Doppler UL and CT. The optimal treatment is coil embolization. We report a case where a 35 year-old woman presented with a false aneurysm of the right hepatic artery two weeks after an uncomplicated laparoscopic cholecystectomy and was successfully treated with coil embolization. | | Language | DAN | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
