| Summary: | Abstract Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis is one of the most performed surgeries and is generally regarded as a safe procedure with a low risk of complications. Vascular and biliary injuries are rare but have severe consequences. No systematic studies have been performed to delineate optimal treatment strategies in these scenarios, which are typically managed on a case-by-case basis. The present report describes a patient who underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, complicated by common bile duct and main portal vein ligation, resulting in hepatic infarcts, perihepatic abscess, and portal hypertension with ascites and portomesenteric congestive enteropathy. This case focuses on management of this patient’s vascular injury, which was successfully treated by endovascular portal venous reconstruction using trans-splenic and right internal jugular vein access. |
