Transcatheter embolization of a ruptured superior mesenteric artery aneurysm with gianturco coils: A case report

CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology volume 13, pages 289–290 (1990)Cite this article

Reports of superior mesenteric artery embolization without the sequela of bowel ischemia or infarction are sparse. We report embolization of the main trunk of the superior mesenteric artery for control of a ruptured aneurysm without subsequent ischemia.
