METHOD:We report a healthy individual who developed hemobilia and acute pancreatitis associated with cysti artery aneurysm. RESULT:The patient was managed with angio-embolization with an uneventful post-embolization course. CONCLUSIONS:Visceral artery aneurysms are rare and can rupture with potentially grave outcome due to excessive bleeding.Angiographic embolization as a common method of treatment for visceral artery aneurysms was used in ou patient with good outcome.展开更多
