PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to report on splenic artery aneurysms (SAAs) treated by transcatheter embolization in our single-center institution and to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with SAA by aneurysm location. MATERIALS AND METHODS The original medical records and imaging results of 52 patients with SAA treated in our center between January 1, 1995 and December 31, 20...

A 46-year-old man presented with a huge splenic artery dissecting aneurysm that had been incidentally found and was successfully resected before rupture. The histopathologic findings were compatible with segmental mediolytic arteriopathy (SMA). Simultaneous involvement of the left renal and right common iliac artery was observed. The patient was also found to have an adrenocortical adenoma, gas...

hepatic artery aneurysms are rare but potentially life threatening. we describe a novel case of a successful endovascular coil embolization of a huge hepatic artery aneurysm. a 67-year-old woman presented with recent abdominal pain that had begun from 2 weeks before referring to our hospital. sonographic and computerized tomographic (ct) findings revealed a huge hepatic artery aneurysm with 95 ...

We report a case of a splenic artery aneurysm rupture presenting with shock which required timely embolization therapy. This case demonstrates how the rapid use of bedside ultrasound by emergency department (ED) physicians can help identify the cause of shock and, therefore, initiate appropriate treatment quickly even if the cause is rare, as in this case.

superior mesenteric artery (sma) aneurysm is a rare disease. in this case report, we present a 32 years old woman who was admitted to our hospital with chronic abdominal pain. sma aneurysm was diagnosed after radiological evaluation. the patient underwent ligation of the superior mesenteric artery aneurysm and remained well 12 months after the surgery.

TOPIC: Critical Care TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Splenic vein aneurysms(SVA) are rare with the reported incidence among visceral venous aneurysms approximately 14%. Herein, we present a case of splenic aneurysm presenting to intensive care in shock requiring interventional management. CASE PRESENTATION: 57 year old female presented hospital abdominal discomfort and...

Aneurysm of the splenic artery was first reported by Beaussier (1770). This and the second case reported by Parker (1844a and b) were for many years omitted from the literature and priority mistakenly given to Crisp (1847) by all subsequent authors, possibly because he himself had also erroneously credited Parker with the description of the first case. The subject was last extensively reviewed ...
