Description
Summary:The Hepatic Artery Aneurysms (HAAs) are rare and asymptomatic with a high rate of rupture. The management is mandatory and depends on the size and the location of the aneurysm. We reported a case of 50 years old male, admitted to sharp epigastric pain. Radiological investigations confirmed a common hepatic artery aneurysm. We indicated an open surgery to repair the aneurysm, the postoperative course finished without any complications. HAAs are considered the second most common type of splanchnic aneurysms. Although from the rare occurrence, HAAs have a high rate of rupture. Open repair of the HAAs remains the treatment of choice of degenerative HAAs, to preserve the arterial flow to the liver.
