Abstract
A traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the suprarenal abdominal aorta was diagnosed in a 58-year-old man 32 years after he received a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Epigastric pain and obstructive jaundice were the presenting symptoms. Repair was performed by intraluminal polytetrafluoroethylene patch aortoplasty with resolution of the biliary obstruction. The literature on traumatic abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm is reviewed and reveals that this report is the first to describe biliary obstruction caused by such a lesion.
