Hepatic artery aneurysm. Case reports with review of the literature.
Two cases of hepatic artery aneurysm are reported. The first presented as obstructive jaundice, the second as an upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The diagnosis was made by performing ultrasound, CT-scan and angiography. In both cases surgery was the treatment. However, in some cases, interventional angiography with embolisation of the affected vessel offers an alternative treatment.
