- A 45-year-old man with severe left flank pain arrived at the hospital, where his circulation was stable despite normal urinalysis and no hydronephrosis detected by ultrasound.
- A CT scan revealed a large retroperitoneal hematoma likely from a ruptured left adrenal artery aneurysm.
- After a few hours of bed rest, the patient showed signs of anemia and declining vital signs, leading to a follow-up CT that showed bleeding into the peritoneal cavity, prompting urgent treatment via transcatheter arterial embolization.
We report three cases of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm, which were all treated successfully using a combination of coil embolization and a side-holed 5F indwelling catheter for maintaining minimal hepatic artery blood flow with exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm. The tip of an infusion catheter was placed in the right hepatic artery and a side hole was positioned at the celiac axis. Coil embolization was then performed from the proper to the common hepatic artery using detachable coils.
