Abstract
Pseudoaneurysms arising from branches of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) are very rare. It is important to recognize and treat a pseudoaneurysm because of the risk of bleeding and even death. Angiography is the standard means for detecting intestinal and mesenteric hemorrhage. Endovascular treatment is a prompt and effective method for control of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Status post-ileostomy with pseudoaneurysm formation and active bleeding has not been reported in the literature. We present the first case of ileocolic artery pseudoaneurysm post-ileostomy successfully treated by transcatheter arterial microcoil embolization.
