From 1990 until 1995, four patients were successfully treated for symptomatic aneurysm of the hepatic artery, with rupture in three of them. In two of the patients, the aneurysm was located in the common hepatic artery. In one patient it ruptured. Both aneurysms were resected. One patient also underwent vascular reconstruction. The other two aneurysms ruptured in the left and right hepatic artery respectively. The aneurysm in the right hepatic artery was treated by selective embolization. The aneurysm in the left hepatic artery was ligated. and the patient was subsequently reoperated on for septic necrosis of the left lobe of the liver.
