We report a case of 50-year-old man with a hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm, pancreatic head tumor, and portal vein thrombosis. The patient was operated on due to acute bleeding into duodenum. The pancreatic tumor was unresectable, which is why the ruptured pseudoaneurysm was only sutured. The second therapeutic step was to protect the hepatic artery against rupture. Therefore, a stent graft and then a wall graft endoprosthesis were placed across the pseudoaneurysm neck. The final angiogram demonstrated total exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm with preservation of the arterial lumen.
