Abstract

A visceral artery aneurysm (VAA) is a very rare and lethal vascular anomaly with dramatic consequences. The overall incidence of VAA is 5% of all abdominal artery aneurysms. The involvement of the superior mesenteric artery is even rare (incidence of 3.5–8% of all VAA). The development of superior mesenteric artery pseudoaneurysm following cardiac surgery is scarcely reported in the literature. We report a case of contained rupture of the superior mesenteric artery with no distal flow causing acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) following double heart valve replacement surgery.
