From: Safety and efficacy of emergency transarterial embolization for mesenteric bleeding
A 67-year-old female with blunt trauma. Axial CT scan (A) shows a mesenteric haematoma (*) associated with irregularity of a branch of the superior mesenteric artery, suggestive of pseudoaneurysm (white arrow). Angiography after catheterization of the SMA (B) confirmed the presence of a pseudoaneurysm (black arrow). After TAE using two fibered coils, the pseudoaneurysm is no longer filled (black arrow), and the feeding artery remains patent (C). A follow-up CT scan performed two days after embolization confirms the absence of filling of the pseudoaneurysm (white arrow) and the reduction in size of the haematoma (D)
