[Embolization as a treatment method in post-traumatic right hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm]

Area of Science:

• Vascular Surgery
• Interventional Radiology

Background:

• Post-traumatic pseudoaneurysms, particularly of the hepatic artery, pose significant management challenges.
• Standard treatment often involves coil embolization, but this may not always be feasible.

Observation:

• A 42-year-old male presented with a right hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm following trauma.
• The pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated using endovascular embolization.

Findings:

• Histoacryl glue was utilized as the embolic material.
• The procedure demonstrated a highly effective and rapid treatment outcome.

Implications:

• Embolization with histoacryl glue presents a viable and efficient alternative for managing hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms.
• This technique is particularly valuable when conventional embolic agents cannot be employed.
