Abstract
A 61-year-old man, with pseudoaneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery pr esenting with gastrointestinal bleeding, was successfully treated by transc atheter embolization using interlocking detachable coils. During the follow ing observation time of 10 months, the patient had no sign of gastrointesti nal bleeding. We underline the importance and feasibility of transcatheter embolization as the first-line treatment in such pseudoaneurysms.
