title: Hepatic artery aneurysm. Case reports with review of the literature.
abstract: 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.
