Abstract
Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Traumatic etiology is frequent (vascular anastomosis or iatrogenesisia), although it is also related to infectious or inflammatory diseases. We report the case of a 65-year-old patient, with hematemesis due to hepatic artery branch pseudoaneurysm rupture, in the context of infectious endocarditis. The diagnosis was made by angioTC, using arteriography for embolization.
