Hepatic artery aneurysm (HAA) was diagnosed in a62-year-old man who was a poor candidate forsurgery because of severe liver cirrhosis and diabetesmellitus. Two attempts to occlude the HAA bytranscatheter embolization failed because of recanalizationof the aneurysm. Moreover, aneurysmaldilatation of the superior mesenteric artery and theleft renal artery developed and progressed. Both theliterature and the present case show that anindividual approach to treatment of extraorganicHAA should be chosen in dependantan location andanatomy of the lesion.
