Hepatic artery aneurysms are a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage
and may represent significant problems in both diagnosis and management. We
report a 70 year old patient with gastrointestinal bleeding from a fistula between
a 7 cm hepatic artery aneurysm and the duodenum. He underwent successful
surgical management with endoaneurysmorrhaphy and duodenal wall repair.
