Vascular complications following a laparoscopic cholecystectomy are less common but more serious with higher morbidity than bile duct damages. We report the case of a 79-year-old female who presented 20 days after laparoscopic cholecystectomy hepatic colic, jaundice and hematemesis. The ultrasound - Doppler / and abdominal CT angiography showed a pseudoaneurysm of the right hepatic artery compressing the bile ducts causing a dilation upstream. The evolution was marked by the spontaneous resolution of the clinical signs with complete resolution of the pseudoaneurysme in the angiography performed 48 hours later.
