Rupture of embolised coeliac artery pseudoaneurysm into the stomach: is coil embolisation an effective treatment for coeliac anastomotic pseudoaneurysm?
An elderly woman with an anastomotic pseudoaneurysm of the coeliac artery, after previous treatment of a thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm, was treated by stainless steel coil embolisation. One year later, the embolised pseudoaneurysm ruptured into the stomach and total gastrectomy and aneurysmorraphy was necessary. She is leading a normal life 6 months later.
