Abstract: A 38‐yr‐old woman who underwent living donor liver transplant for alcoholic cirrhosis presented 2 months after transplant with gastrointestinal bleeding from an hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm eroding into the duodenum. She underwent endovascular hepatic artery stenting, resulting in cessation of hemorrhage and salvage of the graft.
