Abstract

Pseudoaneurysm (PSA) formation is not a rare entity in the thoracic aorta, but is much rarer in the visceral aortic segment. This vascular lesion is most commonly because of penetrating trauma. We present the case of a patient with PSA of the visceral aortic segment that was treated by both surgical and endovascular methods and review the previously published data on the presentation, diagnosis, and management of visceral aortic PSAs.
