Purpose
The focus of this educational exhibit is to present a pictorial review of the anatomical considerations and management in varied cases of hepatic artery pseudo-aneurysms (HAPs) secondary to different etiologies. Special attention is given to troubleshooting HAPs with varied anatomical presentations.
Materials & Methods
Hepatic artery pseudo-aneurysm (HAP) is an unusual but serious complication of acute or chronic injury to the hepatic artery that can potentially be fatal. HAPs are classified as intrahepatic or extrahepatic. There are many etiologies of HAP formation, including trauma, iatrogenic, tumor, pancreatitis, inflammatory and idiopathic. Early detection and treatment is critical to decrease morbidity and mortality. Endovascular therapy is the preferred initial management. Different endovascular techniques can be utilized depending on anatomical considerations.
Results
We present a pictorial review of singular cases of hepatic pseudo-aneurysm with remarkable anatomical considerations and their management with different endovascular techniques (table 1).
Conclusions
Clinical presentation and radiographic characteristics of HAPs. Explore endovascular techniques for the management of HAPs. Special considerations and troubleshooting for variant hepatic vascular anatomy.
