Background: Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAAs), albeit rare in infective endocarditis (IE), are associated with a life-threatening morbidity.
Methods: Retrospective review of 10 HAA-IE patients based on a total of 623 IE patients managed in 2 institutions (2008-2020) versus 35 literature cases.
Results: In our patient population, HAAs (10 males, mean age 48) were incidentally found during IE workup.

Hemobilia is a rare cause of upper GI bleed. This case report discusses hemobilia caused as a delayed complication of self-expanding metallic stent (SEMS) placement in a 65-year-old male. Our patient had a history of hepatitis C and an unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma, treated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy, which caused obstructive jaundice, which in turn led to the placement of SEMS.

Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms are a significant health concern, often incidentally discovered during computed tomography (CT) scans, as their exact incidence rate remains unknown. The most common symptoms of a pseudoaneurysm are hematemesis, abdominal pain, anemia and jaundice. A triad of right upper quadrant pain, jaundice and overt upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a classic presentation of the condition, which occurs in only a third of patients with hemobilia.

We report the case of a 65-year-old man who experienced hemobilia due to rupture of a pseudoaneurysm of the left hepatic artery after endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS). The patient was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for obstructive jaundice. Biliary drainage was converted to EUS-HGS due to tumor invasion in the superior duodenal angle.

Hemobilia, a rare form of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB), is a potentially fatal complication that usually occurs after iatrogenic hepatobiliary trauma. However, hemobilia is clinically challenging to diagnose and often gets too late to diagnose. We herein report a case of recurrent hemobilia due to hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm (HAP) that was initially misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal tract bleeding.
