Posttraumatic Pseudoaneurysms in Hepatic Artery Branches with Endovascular N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate Embolization: Case Series

Abstract

Posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm of hepatic artery is an uncommon complication. However, when diagnosed, they need early treatment to prevent rupture. Currently, the treatment of choice for hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is endovascular embolization depending on the location. We present a series of 4 cases of posttraumatic intrahepatic pseudoaneurysm in branches of hepatic artery who were successfully treated with n-butyl cyanoacrylate embolization.
