  • Title: [Aneurysms of the hepatic artery].
    Author: Walter PK, Lindemann W, Houy S, Kubale R.
    Journal: Vasa; 1992; 21(4):369-73. PubMed ID: 1485471.
    Abstract:
    A series of seven cases of hepatic artery aneurysms is reported. Guidelines for diagnosis and therapeutic approach to this rare disease are specified based on our own results and on the work of other authors. Because of high mortality, hepatic and biliary complications in cases of ruptured hepatic aneurysms elective vascular surgery is recommended in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. In cases of intrahepatic localization percutaneous catheter embolization may be the method of choice except for some cases of false aneurysms in transplanted livers.
