title: Percutaneous embolization for the management of hepatic artery aneurysms.
abstract: The significant mortality and morbidity of hepatic artery aneurysms indicate the need for new approaches to therapy. Seven cases of intrahepatic aneurysms diagnosed by percutaneous arteriography over a 7-yr period are discussed. Three patients were treated surgically and 4 by percutaneous embolization. The latter method appears to enjoy certain advantages and it may prove to be the treatment of choice for this often fatal condition.
