Abstract

Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare and potentially life-threatening vascular disorder. Careful consideration and early management of this lesion can be life-saving. The authors report a case of a hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm which was successfully controlled by endovascular repair using a covered stent-graft.
