%X UNASSIGNED: The diagnostics and treatment management in conditions of massive sanitary losses with the use of staged treatment have their own specifics and require a multidisciplinary approach with the involvement of a wide range of specialists and the use of modern technologies. The number of sources covering the ultrasound diagnostics and clinical course of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm as a complication of gunshot wounds is quite limited in world literature.
METHODS: We present the experience of the observation and management of the right hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm in case of the blast injury of liver in two patients: the example of successful resolution with spontaneous occlusion and the example with the occurrence of internal bleeding as a result of pseudoaneurysm rupture.
UNASSIGNED: Clinical cases presented here belong to the category of severe injuries caused by high-energy weapons, which are characterized by a syndrome of mutual aggravation and need for simultaneous treatment of several damaged organs. The use of contrast methods in severely injured patients requires instrumental justification, and results of daily ultrasound monitoring with the use of color Doppler program can be the one.
CONCLUSIONS: Pseudoaneurysm of hepatic arteries is a dangerous complication of severe liver wounds and injuries, which occurs in 3·2 % of patients according to our data. The method of ultrasound examination with the use of color Doppler mapping program allows to visualize pseudoaneurysms and monitor their progress. When identifying patients with pseudoaneurysm of hepatic arteries at the level II-III medical care (Role II-III), their further evacuation should be carried out to medical institutions equipped with endovascular correction technologies.
