We report the case of a 65-year-old man admitted for an upper-GI hemorrhage. A CT scan performed with vascular reconstructions demonstrated a pseudoaneurysm of the left gastric artery. Proximal vascular control of the celiac axis was obtained by balloon occlusion with a Fogarty balloon inserted retrograde via the femoral artery: the pseudoaneurysm was then successfully controlled with direct suture.
