Abstract An intact hepatic artery is the gateway to successful hepato-biliary surgery. Introduction of laproscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has stimulated a renewed interest in the anatomy of hepatic artery. In this case report we have highlighted importance of variations of right hepatic artery in terms of origin and course We present a rare asymptomatic case of liver atrophy due to an intraoperative lesion of right hepatic artery. We also performed a literature review about surgical vascular lesions and tried to confirm the right concept behind “non trivial procedure” of the LC.

Vasculobiliary Injury

The frequency and significance of right hepatic artery injury associated with bile duct injury after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is unknown. Many reports suggest that a concomitant arterial injury worsens the outcome and prognosis of the bile duct injury even after an initially successful biliary repair. The optimal management of this complicated injury is controversial. We report a surgical technique to repair the right hepatic artery injury in these cases. We believe this technique is useful for surgeons who opt to repair the arterial injury at the time of biliary reconstruction, especially if it is performed soon after the injury occurred, before permanent damage to the liver and biliary system is established. To the best of our knowledge, this technique was not reported in the literature previously.

Percutaneous Trans-Hepatic Embolization of an Iatrogenic Extra-Hepatic Pseudoaneurysm of the Right Hepatic Artery in a Patient With Previous Occlusion of the Proper Hepatic Artery: An Endovascular Procedure to Avoid a Difficult Surgical Repair

We report a case of successful percutaneous transhepatic, embolization of an iatrogenic extra-hepatic pseudoaneurysm (PsA) of the right hepatic artery (RHA) under combined fluoroscopic and ultrasonographic guidance. A 73-year-old man underwent percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage placement in another hospital, complicated by haemobilia and development of a RHA PsA. Endovascular embolization was attempted, resulting in coil embolization of the proper hepatic artery, and persistence of the PsA. At this point, the patient was referred to our hospital. Computed tomography and direct angiography confirmed the iatrogenic extra-hepatic PsA of the RHA, refilled by small collaterals from the accessory left hepatic artery (LHA) and coil occlusion of the proper hepatic artery. Attempted selective catheterization of these vessels was unsuccessful due to the tortuosity and very small caliber of the intra-hepatic collaterals, the latter precluding endovascular treatment of the PsA. Percutaneous trans-hepatic combined fluoroscopic and ultrasound-guided embolization of the PsA was performed with Lipiodol® and cyanoacrylate-based glue (Glubran®2). Real time fluoroscopic images and computed tomography confirmed complete occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm. Surgical repair, although feasible, was considered at high risk. In our patient, we decided to perform a percutaneous trans-hepatic combined fluoroscopic and ultrasound-guided embolization of the PsA using a mix of Lipiodol® and Glubran®2 because of the fast polymerization time of the glue allowing the complete occlusion of the PsA in few seconds, thus eliminating the risk of coil migration, reducing the risk of PsA rupture and avoid a difficult surgical repair.

The arterial supply of the gallbladder usually arises from the right hepatic artery. Other origins include the left, proper, and common hepatic arteries. We report cases of the cystic artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery and arising from the dorsal pancreatic artery originating in turn from the superior mesenteric artery, as demonstrated by angiography and computed tomography.

An 80-year-old male patient presented with sepsis secondary to infected central line which was placed for native aortic valve endocarditis. He also had melena and abdominal pain prior to his presentation. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) was done, which showed cholelithiasis. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy was also done with no source of bleeding identified. Later, he developed hemodynamic instability requiring aggressive fluid resuscitation and multiple packed blood cell transfusions. In view of his hemodynamic instability, a repeat abdominal CT scan showed air droplets within the gallbladder pneumobilia, ascites, diverticulosis, and a bleeding infrahepatic hematoma measuring 6 × 10 cm, which was not on his prior scan 2 days prior. A mesenteric arteriogram was performed that identified an aneurysm of the right hepatic artery with no active bleeding; therefore, it was coiled. Due to his continued clinical decompensation, he underwent an urgent open cholecystectomy, in which serosanguineous fluid, cholecystocolic fistula, and old clot related to his previous bleed were encountered. However, control of bleeding was difficult, and the patient expired. We report this case of right hepatic artery aneurysm that we believe its etiology was related to eroding cholecystitis.
