title: Endovascular treatment of a patient with an aneurysm of the proper hepatic artery and a duodenal fistula.
abstract: Aneurysms of the proper hepatic artery comprise a rare but potentially dangerous entity for which treatment is performed both surgically and endovascularly. Covered stents are generally used for endovascular treatment of such aneurysms. When the aneurysm is contaminated due to an enteric fistula, however, use of a covered stent is considered inappropriate. This case report describes the endovascular repair of a proper hepatic artery aneurysm using overlapping bare metal stents after the patient was surgically treated for duodenal hemorrhage.
