Multiple visceral artery aneurysms managed by Yasargil aneurysm clips

Here, we present the case of a 37-year-old woman with multiple visceral artery aneurysms in the pancreaticoduodenal, inferior pancreatic and splenic arteries associated with celiac trunk stenosis. An aneurysmectomy and end-to-end anastomosis was performed for two adjacent aneurysms, while clipping with intracranial aneurysm clips were performed for the other three aneurysms. During 36-month fol...

Ruptured visceral artery aneurysms.

Visceral artery aneurysms are uncommon lesions that are rarely identified in the absence of symptoms. Between February 1972 and April 1992, nine patients (5 men and 4 women) with rupture of visceral artery aneurysms were treated. The average age was 62 years old (range 39 to 86 years old). The arteries involved were the splenic (4), the common hepatic (2), the left hepatic (1), the celiac (1), ...

Visceral artery aneurysms.

OBJECTIVE Visceral artery aneurysms are rare vascular malformations and the literature lacks satisfactory general information about the pathology. The aim of this study was to review our experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of visceral artery aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data on 10 patients who were diagnosed with visceral artery aneurysms at our institut...

Visceral Artery Aneurysms

In clinical practice relatively rare vascular entity, visceral artery aneurysms (VAA) can thrombose, embolise and rupture, causing high morbidity and mortality [1]. Splanchnic aneurysms pose a difficult therapeutic challenge especially in emergency cases. Almost 22% of VAA patientswith mortality as high as 8.5%,are diagnosed after rupture with variable clinical manifestations that raise the ris...
