ABSTRACT
Superior mesenteric artery aneurysms are rare and associated with high mortality rates in cases of rupture. Current Society for Vascular Surgery guidelines recommend treatment of all superior mesenteric artery aneurysms regardless of size. A 53-year-old woman who was admitted for abdominal pain was found with a 14-cm, ruptured superior mesenteric artery branch aneurysm. Endovascular approach was performed with microvascular plug embolization of a feeding branch and aneurysm sac exclusion with a stent graft. Four months later, the patient demonstrated a 21% regression of the aneurysm and stent patency. Thus, timely diagnosis and treatment of superior mesenteric artery aneurysms with endovascular techniques can reduce potential complications.
