We reported a case of right hepatic artery aneurysm which ruptured into the duodenum. At first, bleeding from a submucosal tumor of the duodenum was suspected, but CT and angiography revealed an aneurysm of the right hepatic artery. Transcatheter arterial embolization by the use of coils was performed successfully, with the coils positioned one in the proximal and the other in the distal site of the aneurysm.
