Abstract
The authors report the unusual presentation of a mycotic aneurysm of the superior gluteal artery in a patient with unsuspected bacterial endocarditis. The diagnosis of this atypically large lesion, the therapeutic considerations, and the technical aspects of the endovascular occlusion are discussed.
