Endovascular Treatment of a Splenic Aneurysm Associated With Segmental Arterial Mediolysis
Introduction Segmental arterial mediolysis is a rare disorder characterised by disintegration of the medial layer of an arterial wall usually affecting the intra-abdominal splanchnic vessels. Report A case of 50 year old man who presented with sudden-onset left sided flank pain is reported. A computed tomography mesenteric angiogram showed haemorrhage and a stable left upper quadrant haematom...
متن کاملHemosuccus pancreaticus associated with segmental arterial mediolysis successfully treated by transarterial embolization.
CONTEXT Hemosuccus pancreaticus, a rare cause of intermittent upper gastrointestinal bleeding, is usually caused by the rupture of an aneurysm associated with chronic pancreatitis. Segmental arterial mediolysis is a rare non-arteriosclerotic, non-inflammatory vascular disease characterized by vacuolization and lysis of the arterial smooth muscle cells. Segmental arterial mediolysis often causes...
متن کاملHemosuccus pancreaticus due to primary splenic artery aneurysm: a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
CONTEXT Hemosuccus pancreaticus is a rare cause of upper chronic and intermittent gastrointestinal hemorrhage which cannot be easily detected by endoscopy. It is usually due to the rupture of a visceral aneurysm into the main pancreatic duct; splenic artery pseudoaneurysm associated with chronic pancreatitis represents the leading cause of this condition. The diagnosis is based on direct visual...
متن کاملFatal hemoperitoneum due to segmental arterial mediolysis
Spontaneous hemoperitoneum due to vascular injury is a life-threatening condition mostly associated with aortic or splanchnic arterial disease, which stems from atherosclerotic, inflammatory, or infectious origin. However, in 1976, Slavin and Gonzales described a nonatherosclerotic arterial disease that may render aneurysmal formation predominantly in the splanchnic arterial bed. The clinical p...
متن کاملHemosuccus pancreaticus associated with splenic artery aneurysms and hepatic artery thrombosis late after liver transplantation.
We read with interest the article by Ray S. et al. recently published in JOP. Journal of the Pancreas [1]. We agree with authors that given the rarity and intermittent course of hemosuccus pancreaticus, difficulties in determining the location of bleeding sometimes cause delay of treatment. Until now, reports on hemosuccus pancreaticus in transplant population have been quite limited. Therefore...
