    (2021) Şenlikci, Abdullah; Yıldırım, Murat Baki; Arapi, Berk; Özdemir, Mustafa
    Injuries to the anatomic structures of the porta hepatis are rare and have high morbidity and mortality rates. The case is here presented of a patient with isolated left hepatic artery transection after blunt trauma. A 17-year old male was admitted to the Emergency Department of Bitlis State Hospital after a traffic accident. Pseudoaneurysm and extravasation was demonstrated in the left hepatic artery on computed tomography (CT) examinaation. The left hepatic artery could not be detected in the portal vein phase on CT. Parenchymal hematoma and non-contrasted laceration areas were observed in the left lobe. The patient underwent surgery, and the left hepatic artery was seen to be transected on exploration. To provided hemostasis, the left hepatic artery was ligated. Isolated left hepatic artery transection is rarely seen after blunt trauma. Arterial ligation is the most commonly used treatment option in hemodynamically unstable patients.
