A case report of ruptured inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm with superior mesenteric artery stenosis

The incidence of inferior mesenteric artery aneurysms is extremely low. Once they rupture, the situation becomes extremely dangerous, and immediate intervention measures must be taken. We reported a unique case of ruptured and bleeding inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm with superior mesenteric artery stenosis. After diagnostic angiography, a super-selective transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) was performed. Our patient achieved the best therapeutic outcome through the most minimally invasive surgical method. A personalized treatment strategy is recommended in the management of inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm.
