We reported a case of traumatic pseudoaneurysm of internal carotid artery accompanied by skull base fracture, for which Guglielmi detachable coil(GDC) embolization surgery was very effective for recovery. A 53-year-old man met a traffic accident and was admitted to our hospital with blindness and epistaxis accompanied with shock. Balloon occlusion test showed a positive sign of traumatic pseudoaneurysm of internal carotid artery, and under the diagnosis GDC embolization surgery was performed on six days after the onset. The patient has completely recovered and keeps his wellness untill now after six months from the surgery except for loss of left eye vision. We believe that the endovascular surgery using stents will become the prime modality for treatment of traumatic pseudoaneurysm in the future.

Cystic artery pseudoaneurysms are a rare but life-threatening entity that commonly occurs as a sequela to acute cholecystitis. We present a case of a 52-year-old male with a past medical history of decompensated alcoholic liver cirrhosis who underwent a transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) after correction of his baseline coagulopathy. On post-operative day one, the patient had significant blood loss with an inappropriate response to blood transfusions and without an identifiable source of bleeding.
