Pseudoaneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery is a rare disease, however it is associated to a high incidence of rupture and mortality. The etiology is usually infectious and the diagnosis is commonly made by means of occasional imaging. Historically, the treatment of choice has been open surgical repair; however it is associated to numerous complications and technical difficulties. We reported a case of a pseudoaneurysm of superior mesenteric artery in a patient with liver abscess who, after resolution of infection, underwent successfully a minimally invasive endovascular approach, with deployment of microcoils and bare stent.
