Spontaneous rupture of a saccular intrahepatic artery aneurysm.
Hepatic artery aneurysms are the second most common visceral aneurysm but are still relatively uncommon. Over the last century, methods for treating these lesions have evolved substantially. The presented case covers the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of a 65-year-old woman with an aneurysm of the intrahepatic portion of the hepatic artery. This case demonstrates the variety of techniques available for managing these lesions and the importance of both a thorough knowledge of the available treatments and the flexibility to switch among them when necessary.
