Figure 2

a) A patient with vasculitic hepatic artery aneurysms presented following minor trauma. Axial contrast enhanced CT demonstrates haematoma around a pseudoaneurysm (arrow) indicating that this is the likely cause of recent haemodynamic instability. b) 3D volume rendered reconstruction demonstrates 3 aneurysms arising from a branch of the left hepatic artery (arrows). The right hepatic artery arose from the SMA. c) Selective arteriogram of the coeliac axis with standard catheter after 2 aneurysms had been embolised with onyx (ev3, Irvine, CA, USA). The cast of the onyx is demonstrated, and some distal embolisation (arrow) of onyx. d) A microcatheter is demonstrated within the final bleeding aneurysm (arrow). e) A selective angiogram demonstrates onyx filling all aneurysms and maintained patency of the gastroduodenal artery.
