Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Objective: Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is mainly associated with hepatic trauma. It is usually asymptomatic and detected on follow-up imaging. Its detection warrants correction, whatever its size or symptoms. Case Report: We report a case of post-traumatic hepatic pseudoaneurysm treated by endovascular embolization. A 24-year-old man, victim of polytrauma following a road traffic accident, and at D 11 he developed a pseudoaneurysm of the branch of the common hepatic artery. Results: The patient was treated by radiological embolization of the pseudoaneurysm, which completely disappeared. Discussion: Endovascular treatment is currently the treatment of choice for both intraparenchymal and extrahepatic aneurysms.
