A Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare vascular complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We report a case that presented thirteen months following elective surgery and was treated successfully by endovascular coil embolisation. This case represents the latest presentation post surgery without the development of life threatening clinical rupture.
