  • Title: Ruptured hepatic artery aneurysm with hepatic artery-to-portal vein fistula. Preservation of portal flow by autogenous vein reconstruction.
    Author: McKinnon WM, Smith RB, Davis SC, Connelly TL, Perdue GD.
    Journal: Surgery; 1981 May; 89(5):626-30. PubMed ID: 7221894.
    Abstract:
    Hepatic artery aneurysms are uncommon lesions that have varied clinical presentations. Rupture into the portal vein has occasionally been reported, as has associated gastrointestinal bleeding. A case is described in which an unusually large hepatic artery aneurysm ruptured into the portal vein, destroying a major portion of its wall. Reconstruction was accomplished successfully by use of an autogenous saphenous vein patch with preservation of hepatopetal portal flow.
