Abstrakt: We report a case of a pseudoaneurysm of the common hepatic artery treated with a stent-graft in a 67-year-old man. The patient presented with severe catheter bleeding through a drain following surgical and interventional procedures performed for therapeutic management of a choledochal cholangiocarcinoma. Selective hepatic arteriography showed a pseudoaneurysm close to the origin of the gastroduodenal artery. After a preliminary attempt at arterial embolization, it was decided to use a stent-graft to bridge the false aneurysm. Complete pseudoaneurysm exclusion was seen after the procedure with preservation of hepatic arterial flow. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
