Successful resection of a massive hepatic artery aneurysm.
Hepatic artery (HA) aneurysms are seen infrequently, but many eventually rupture, often with a fatal outcome. With modern diagnostic technology, aneurysms can be identified at an earlier stage, providing the opportunity for intervention. This review outlines the case of a patient with a massive, leaking hepatic artery aneurysm and discusses the aetiology and management of these lesions.
