Gdeh A, El Beialy HA, Sinclair M, Ben Khadra T, Bassi N, Aghtarafi N. Management of rupture of incidental right hepatic artery aneurysm using angio-embolization. J Case Rep Images Surg 2024;10(2):36–39.ABSTRACT
Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAAs) are a rare type of arterial aneurysm but are the second most common aneurysm of the splanchnic system after splenic artery aneurysms. Typically asymptomatic until rupture, symptomatic HAAs can present with a range of clinical signs, including dull abdominal pain, a palpable mass, obstructive jaundice, and, occasionally, gastrointestinal hemorrhage. For intrahepatic HAAs, embolization is the preferred treatment as it preserves liver vasculature due to collateral blood flows. In contrast, endovascular stenting is often the best option for aneurysms in the extrahepatic portion of the hepatic artery. Secondary management strategies may include prosthetic graft reconstruction, aneurysm excision, and surgical ligation.
