case_images: Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) angiography of the abdomen revealed a rounded hyperdense lesion 27 mm in diameter filled with contrast medium in early arterial phase of imaging, and this confirmed the diagnosis of pseudoaneurysms located next to the ostium of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) (Figures 1 and 2).

case_images: SMA distal to origin of replaced right HA revealed an pseudoaneurysm filling from branch of inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery, occlusion of main SMA trunk at the level of pseudoaneurysm, and collateral filling with patent SMA distal to pseudoaneurysm (Figure 3). Superselective angiogram of branch of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery filling the pseudoaneurysm showed no communication with other arteries or extravasation in peritoneal space (Figure 4). 
case_images: Superselective angiography through the feeding artery (aneurysmography), showing no vessels arising from pseudoaneurysms.
