Clin Case Rep. 2017 Sep 26;5(11):1841-1846. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1200. eCollection 2017 Nov.

Abstract

Performing resection of a biliary tract malignancy with a hepatic artery aneurysm is very challenging. Resection of the extrahepatic bile duct and extra-anatomical reconstruction can be successfully performed using free radial artery autografts from the aorta to the right hepatic artery. Hepatic artery thrombosis can be prevented with intimal preservation.

Keywords: Extra‐anatomical reconstruction; hepatic artery reconstruction; hepatocellular carcinoma; radial artery autograft.
