Abstract
A postoperative superior mesenteric artery pseudoaneurysm that communicates with a pancreatic pseudocyst after aortic surgery is a difficult management problem. Untreated, this condition can lead to exsanguination. Traditional surgical treatment has many potential complications. Endovascular repair has the potential for avoidance of surgical complications. We present the first superior mesenteric artery pseudoaneurysm successfully treated with A polytetrafluorethylene covered stent.Entities:
