  • Title: Catheter embolization of an hepatic artery aneurysm: a case report.
    Author: Dwivedi AJ, Greben C, Krishnasastry KV.
    Journal: Vasc Endovascular Surg; 2006; 40(1):79-83. PubMed ID: 16456611.
    Abstract:
    Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAAs) are considered rare. The great improvement in the diagnosis of vascular diseases and the increasing incidence of atherosclerosis have resulted in a wider recognition of these pathologies. Differently from other splanchnic locations, HAAs have a high risk of rupture so that an aggressive treatment is required. Different therapeutic options are currently available: simple ligation of the artery, aneurysm excision with vascular reconstruction, and transcatheter embolization. We describe the usefulness of transcatheter arterial embolization of an 8 cm hepatic artery aneurysm incidentally found on an abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan in an asymptomatic patient.
