Abstract

Pseudoaneurysms could be the dynamic evolution of an infectious break in the arterial wall; in the post-antibiotic era they are uncommon complication following infective endocarditis (IE) and are associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality especially for patients in whom a prompt diagnosis and therapeutic strategy are not performed. In this report, we describe a case of pseudoaneurysm of the celiac trunk developed as a complication of IE. Endovascular treatment is our first-line approach.
