Hepatic artery aneurysm.
Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAAs) are rare. A review of the English language literature from 1985 to 1995 for reports of visceral artery aneurysms showed HAA to be the most frequently reported visceral aneurysm during that decade. This increase in incidence relates to the increasing use of percutaneous diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. A second factor is the increased use of diagnostic CT scanning after blunt liver trauma. The purpose of this pictorial review is to illustrate the imaging presentation and radiological management of HAAs.
