[Aneurysm of the hepatic artery. A case report]

The authors describe the case of the sixty-one-year-old man admitted to hospital because of a growing jaundice that after the surgical operation proved to be caused by a compression of the PBV determined by a voluminous aneurysm of the hepatic artery. The integrity of the gastroduodenal artery made it possible to make a simple aneurysmectomy with clinic. The patient was discharged from hospital after fifteen days from the surgical operation; he was surgically healed and with normal enzymatic values. The follow-up two years after discharge confirmed a hematochemical state within normal limits.
