Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: The patient had received embolization with numerous tools such as stent grafts, balloons, and bare stents with or without filter protection. RESULTS: After failing to pass through the narrow lumen by embolizing tools, the right ICA finally occluded spontaneously by self- thrombosis. CONCLUSION: Although the angio-embolization is a good method to resolve the problems of ruptured pseudoaneurysm, there is still high mortality and morbidity. Being aware of the clinical presentations and the changes of images may alert us to predict the happening earlier.
