Inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm in Behçet syndrome

Inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm: case report and literature review.

An inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) aneurysm is the rarest among visceral artery aneurysms. A 69-year-old man was referred to our hospital with an asymptomatic IMA aneurysm associated with occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and celiac artery (CA). After revascularization of the SMA with an 8-mm expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) graft, the aneurysm was resected, and the IMA...

Acute retroperitoneal bleeding due to inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm

Rupture of inferior phrenic artery aneurysm. An unusual complication of mesenteric arteritis due to postcoarctectomy syndrome.

Postcoarctectomy syndrome was developed in a boy with Williams syndrome. Angiogram revealed widespread changes of visceral arteries and extravasation of the contrast material from the right inferior phrenic artery. Emergency laparotomy was successful. This unusual complication makes clear that the mesenteric arteritis after coarctectomy can cause aneurysm with a risk of rupture.

A case of inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm with an occlusive disease in superior mesenteric artery and the celiac artery.

A 72 year-old man was referred to our hospital for treatment of a gradually expanding inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) aneurysm associated with an occluded superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and a severely stenosed celiac artery (CA). Using 64-slice computer tomography (CT), we were able to accurately define a precise collateral visceral circulation from the IMA to the SMA and the CA, greatly cla...

Large-diameter inferior mesenteric artery in a case involving a ruptured common iliac artery aneurysm

We report a case of a large-diameter inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) that was associated with an occluded superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and a celiac artery (CA) that had significant stenosis in a 79-year-old man with a ruptured right common iliac artery aneurysm. Nonenhanced computed tomography (CT) was performed at another hospital to examine his sudden abdominal pain; it showed the ruptur...
