Abstract: Hepatic artery aneurysms are rare and sometimes life-threating. Various treatments for hepatic artery aneurysms, including surgical and endovascular techniques are present. Here, we report the case of a 68-year-old woman who presented with an about 9 cm of common hepatic artery aneurysm detected during a routine medical checkup; she did not exhibit any symptoms. We successfully treated the aneurysm with transcatheter arterial embolization with isolation technique via pancreatic duodenal arcade.
