Cases of bleeding from the ileocolic artery penetrating the duodenum are uncommon, as bleeding from the colonic diverticulum usually spontaneously stops. Herein, this case depicts sudden gastrointestinal bleeding in a patient whose only relevant history was hepaticojejunostomy for hilar cholangiocarcinoma and a previous abdominal surgery for a traffic accident.
