Abstract:
Hepatic artery aneurysms are uncommon, accounting for 20% of digestive artery aneurysms and ranking second behind splenic artery aneurysms (1), with a grim prognosis and mortality rate of 30-45% (2) (3). They can be asymptomatic or revealed by a ruptures symptoms including haemobilia,jaundice and pain in the right hypochondrium. Here in we report a case of a 59-year-old man who presented with an acute cholangitis diagnosed in an enhanced abdominal CT, whichsubsequently revealed a giant false aneurysm of the proper hepatic artery.We managed it using endovascular procedure. The outcome was satisfying.
