False aneurysm of a hepatic artery branch complicating intrahepatic islet transplantation.

Islet transplantation, an innovative treatment strategy for type 1 diabetes mellitus, is a relatively safe procedure, with less morbidity than pancreas transplantation. Vascular injuries have not been reported to date. We report a percutaneous transhepatic intraportal islet transplant infusion that was followed by bleeding from a false aneurysm of an intrahepatic branch of the hepatic artery.
