Abstract
We present the case of a common hepatic artery aneurysm successfully treated with an endovascular stent-graft. Although the long-term usefulness of stent-graft placement is not confirmed, the favorable mid-term course in our patient suggests that stent-graft placement may be considered as the treatment of choice in selected cases with hepatic artery aneurysm.
