Abstract
Jejunal artery pseudoaneurysms are extremely rare, accounting for <1% of all visceral artery pseudoaneurysms. Fewer than 50 cases were reported in literature during the previous century. This case report describes the case of a 72-year-old man who underwent aneurysmectomy to treat a 21-mm mycotic jejunal artery pseudoaneurysm found in the setting of endocarditis. This pseudoaneurysm was treated with laparotomy, and gentle dissection of the tissues surrounding the pseudoaneurysm was performed before ligation and resection. This allowed for vascular collateral branch preservation, which, thus, avoided concomitant bowel resection. This report highlights the feasibility of this technique.
