Abstract
The authors report a case of rupture of a mycotic aneurysm of the duod enal pancreatic arcade in a 68 year old man presenting with shoe, abdo minal pain and rigitidy complicating a case of infectious endocarditis . Emergency treatment consisted of selective embolisation with a coil. This treatment, proposed in view of the clinical condition of the pat ient and the anatomical particularity of the regional arterial vascula risation, may be a valuable alternative to classical surgery in this t ype of pathology.
