Among the cases of visceral artery aneurysms, those that involve the inferior mesenteric artery are the most uncommon, with a prevalence of <1%. This study reports a giant symptomatic inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm and its endovascular treatment by means of percutaneous embolization with the implantation of pushable coils. After complete occlusion of the aneurysm, adequate maintenance of arterial supply of the left colon and resolution of the symptoms were observed. In the 2-year follow-up, a significant reduction in the aneurysm's volume and maintenance of the clinical condition were observed.
