## TL;DR

Some small hepatic artery aneurysms caused by segmental arterial mediolysis can resolve on their own without treatment.

## Contribution

Shows that conservative monitoring is a viable option for small SAM-related aneurysms in asymptomatic patients.

## Key findings

- Small SAM lesions (<3 cm) in asymptomatic patients can resolve spontaneously.
- Conservative monitoring is appropriate for some cases of SAM-related aneurysms.

## Abstract

In asymptomatic patients with lesions in SAM measuring <3 cm, conservative monitoring is an appropriate option, with the anticipation of uncomplicated recovery in some cases.
