ABSTRACT The combination of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous (AV) fistula is a rare complication following penetrating abdominal trauma. We report a case of a post-traumatic SMA pseudoaneurysm and large fistula between the SMA and superior mesenteric vein (SMV), which was successfully treated with an endovascular stent graft.
