Abstract
Hepatic artery aneurysms are uncommon and account for 20% of visceral aneurysms. Some authors consider endovascular procedures as the first line treatment for most hepatic artery aneurysms, being the conventional surgery reserved for unstable ruptured aneurysms or if the anatomy is unsuitable for endovascular repair. In this report, we describe the endovascular treatment of a giant common hepatic artery aneurysm with an Amplatzer vascular plug.
