RESUMO
Giant true aneurysms of the hepatic arteries are rare. Pseudoaneurysms of the hepatic arteries are more common and are mostly caused by intra-abdominal infection, iatrogenic injury, or trauma. Hepatic or cystic pseudoaneurysms are often successfully treated by embolization owing to their saccular nature as opposed to true aneurysms. We present a case of a patient with a giant true aneurysm of the proper hepatic artery, mimicking Mirizzi syndrome. Open reconstruction was successfully preformed, and the patient made a full recovery.
