A 41-year-old woman with intestinal tuberculosis developed massive lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Angiographic examinations showed two aneurysms arising from the proximal branches of the superior mesenteric artery, one of which was resected and the other one was successfully embolized with microcoils. Understanding the angiographic features of the disease with gastrointestinal hemorrhage helps in making an appropriate clinical decision for the treatment strategy.
