Visceral and peripheral arterial pseudoaneurysms.
OBJECTIVE
Pseudoaneurysms are not rare, and various conditions can cause a pseudoaneurysm in all the cardiovascular systems. In this article, we discuss and show images of pseudoaneurysms of various arteries caused by various conditions.


CONCLUSIONS
CT, MRI, sonography, and angiography may all be valuable in the imaging workup of pseudoaneurysms. Knowledge of the various appearances of pseudoaneurysms and of the proper management is essential to prevent a catastrophic outcome in cases of pseudoaneurysm.
