Endovascular management of a large hepatic artery aneurysm

Visceral arteries aneurysms (VAA) are an increasingly interesting clinical entity due to their challenging diagnosis and treatment options. The more prevalent use and accuracy of enhanced imaging techniques such as ultrasonography and computed tomography have increased the frequency of diagnosis of aneurysmal degeneration of the visceral arteries. Despite there is no statistically significant difference in terms of overall mortality and post-operative complications between endovascular therapy and open repair, interventional strategies present a significantly lower length of stay and less invasiveness and should be preferred in elderly patients, or in case of co-morbidity and poor candidates for surgery. We herein describe the case of a 79-year-old male who presented a common hepatic artery aneurism (CHAA), involving aberrant visceral arteries anatomy
