The management is mandatory and depends on the size and the location of the aneurysm. Case presentationWe reported a case of 50 years old male, admitted to sharp epigastric pain. Radiological investigations confirmed a common hepatic artery aneurysm. We indicated an open surgery to repair the aneurysm, the postoperative course finished without any complications. Clinical discussion & conclusionHAAs are considered the second most common type of splanchnic aneurysms. Although from the rare occurrence, HAAs have a high rate of rupture. Open repair of the HAAs remains the treatment of choice of degenerative HAAs, to preserve the arterial flow to the liver.
