Abstract
A case of successful direct percutaneous transhepatic coil embolization of a ruptured intrahepatic aneurysm under computed tomography (CT) guidance is presented. The patient had a history of multiple operations for liver echinococcosis and was transferred to the emergency department in a deteriorating clinical condition due to active hemorrhage. The aneurysm was treated with percutaneous transhepatic embolization under CT guidance. The procedure is not time‐consuming and keeps the time interval between diagnosis and treatment to a minimum, thereby limiting subsequent blood loss. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
