title: Balloon-expandable covered stent repair of massive abdominal pseudoaneurysm.
abstract: Pseudoaneurysms of descending aorta have usually been treated surgically or using self expanding endovascular stent grafts through open femoral arteriotomy. Here we report an unusual case of massive abdominal peseudoaneurysm in a young woman who was managed successfully with balloon-expandable covered stent deployed percutaneously.
