Abstract

We present a 62-year-old gentleman with rapidly forming abdominal pseudoaneurysms due to segmental arterial mediolysis (SAM). With rupture of his pseudoaneurysms, he underwent angiography and successful coil embolisation. In this case, we demonstrate the potential for rapid progression of pseudoaneurysms in SAM, with the need for prompt diagnosis and urgent endovascular intervention.
