A common hepatic artery aneurysm was successfully resected and repaired in a 45-year-old man. Early diagnosis through imaging, like ultrasound and angiography, is crucial for improving outcomes in hepatic artery aneurysm cases.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAAs) are rare but potentially life-threatening vascular conditions.
  • Often asymptomatic, HAAs pose diagnostic challenges and carry a high risk of rupture.
  • Alcohol abuse is a recognized risk factor contributing to the development of HAAs.

Observation:

  • A 45-year-old male with a history of alcohol abuse presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • Abdominal ultrasound revealed a large, fluid-filled mass near the pancreatic head.
  • CT scan and angiography confirmed the presence of a common hepatic artery aneurysm.

Findings:

  • The hepatic artery aneurysm was surgically resected.
  • Artery repair was performed using a saphenous vein graft.

  • The patient experienced an uncomplicated recovery and was discharged within a week.

    • Implications:

    • Increased utilization of diagnostic imaging like ultrasound and angiography aids in the early detection of HAAs.
    • Timely diagnosis and surgical intervention significantly reduce the historically high mortality rates associated with HAAs.
    • This case highlights the importance of prompt surgical management for hepatic artery aneurysms to prevent catastrophic complications.
