Introduction:
Endovascular repair (ER) as a minimally invasive approach can be effective for treating hepatic artery aneurysm (HAA) with gratifying results. Microcoil embolisation is the main technique used in ER. However, the coil embolisation of a large proper HAA (PHAA) with a very wide neck tends to be extremely troublesome owing to the limited length of the inflow and outflow artery. Moreover, it is difficult because of rapid blood flow in the proper hepatic artery (PHA) and the difficulty in preserving its branch flow. Microcoil embolisation of the inflow and outflow of a PHAA with the balloon occlusion technique through an originally developed single guiding sheath system was performed successfully.
Report:
A 73 year old woman was diagnosed with large PHAA (65 mm) by computed tomography examination. The PHAA was successfully treated by endovascular embolisation with microcoils using the balloon occlusion technique through a single guiding sheath system.
Discussion:
This method is safe and effective for the treatment of a large PHAA.
