SILVA-ASIAIN, Andrea e HERRERO-DOMINGUEZ, Almudena. Ruptured hepatic artery aneurysm: an infrequent cause of abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.2, pp.216-219. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.338.
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is defined as bleeding originating in the upper digestive tract proximal to the Treitz angle and is the most important gastroenterological emergency. Its incidence varies, depending on the area studied, between 48 and 160 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year. Although it can be caused by numerous etiologies, we must not forget the less common ones such as a ruptured hepatic artery aneurysm since they can condition high mortality. We present a representative case.
