Superior mesenteric artery pseudoaneurysm associated with celiac axis occlusion treated using endovascular techniques

Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2006 Sep-Oct;29(5):886-9. doi: 10.1007/s00270-004-0113-6.

Abstract

The case of a 30-year-old woman with a post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery and associated celiac axis occlusion is presented. The patient was successfully treated with celiac artery recanalization and placement of a covered stent within the superior mesenteric artery. Follow-up at 3, 6, and 12 months and 3 years demonstrated patency of the covered stent and continued exclusion of the aneurysm. Although the long-term success of this procedure is unknown this management option should be considered where facilities are available, to reduce the increased morbidity associated with open surgical procedure.
