Abstract

Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAAs) are an uncommon clinical condition. Ruptured hepatic artery aneurysm carries a high incidence of mortality. Traditionally, they are treated with open surgical resection; however, endovascular aneurysm exclusion is an alternative option to open repair in select patients who have suitable anatomy. Here, we present a case of a giant hepatic artery aneurysm treated with a covered stent placement.
