Abstract
Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAAs) are rare visceral aneurysms with a high rupture rate. We report the case of an 88-year-old man with a 4.2-cm right HAA treated with covered stenting. Balloon-expandable covered stents effectively excluded the HAA with excellent proximal and distal seals. Our case is one of a limited number of reports on successfully repairing a hepatic aneurysm with a balloon-expandable stent graft. This case demonstrates that balloon expandable covered stenting is a viable approach in patients with appropriate anatomy and may be favorable in patients precluded from open bypass.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing peer review high quality case reports, vascular images and innovative techniques related to all aspects of arterial, venous, and lymphatic diseases and disorders, including vascular trauma, malformations, wound care and the placement and maintenance of arterio-venous dialysis accesses with an emphasis on the practicing clinician. The Journal seeks to provide novel and timely information to vascular surgeons, interventionalists, phlebologists, wound care specialists, and allied health professionals involved with the management of patients with the entire spectrum of vascular disorders.
