Hepatic artery transection after blunt trauma: case presentation and review of the literature

Maurizio A Miglietta et al. J Pediatr Surg. 2006 Sep.

This case represents the first reported hepatic artery transection and the second hepatic artery injury described in children. Hepatic artery injuries are associated with high mortality, and their management is complex and controversial.
