Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019-related transplant hepatic pseudoaneurysms have not been reported but can be life-threatening. They can be either solitary or multiple and can grow rapidly within weeks. They should be classified as mycotic and treated on an emergent basis. Both stenting of the vessel and coil embolization can potentially be viable treatment options of coronavirus disease 2019-related pseudoaneurysms.
