We have found two articles in the literature describing fistula formation between the cystic artery and gall bladder. In this report, we present a unique case of a cystic artery-gall bladder fistula that resulted in massive gastrointestinal bleeding through cystic artery erosion and was adequately managed with coil embolization.
