Abstract
Visceral artery pseudoaneurysms (PA) are a rare complication of abdominal surgery. Their natural history is generally unknown and unpredictable, so a repair is recommended. We report the case of a 77-year-old male with a huge PA of the hepatic artery diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) and treated successfully with percutaneous exclusion using a pericardium-covered stent. A staged CT confirmed the good result of the procedure.
