Deskripsi
The formation of left gastric artery aneurysms (LGAAs) is a very rare complication of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA). Hemorrhage due to ruptured LGAAs is life threatening. In this case report, an 81-year-old female patient diagnosed with MPA developed massive bleeding from a ruptured LGAA and hemorrhagic shock during hospitalization. The patient underwent endovascular therapy to successfully embolize the aneurysm with microcoils and recovered postoperatively.
