Behçet's disease is an autoimmune vasculitis, which mainly manifests as aneurysm when arteries are involved. Treatments including graft interposition or stent-graft implantation are best performed after active inflammation subsides, otherwise there will be complications such as anastomotic pseudoaneurysms and graft occlusion. We report the treatment of a suprarenal abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm in a patient with Behçet's disease via multiple overlapping stent implantation combined with coil embolization which was performed in a subacute fashion because of impending rupture of the pseudoaneurysm. She was maintained on long-term immunosuppressive therapy and remained symptom free at 2-year follow-up.
