We report a case of hybrid thoracic endovascular aortic repair for intercostal patch aneurysm after thoracoabdominal aortic replacement. Eighteen years ago, a 63-year-old woman with Marfan syndrome had undergone thoracoabdominal aortic replacement with reimplantation of the intercostal artery in an island fashion. Follow-up computed tomography (CT) revealed a remaining intercostal patch aneurys...

Splenic Artery Aneurysm (SAA) remains rare pathology. Although rare, the SAA is the most common visceral artery aneurysm with 4:1 female-to-male predominance, commonly located in the distal third of the splenic artery (75% of cases). It remains asymptomatic in over 95% of patients. Patients with this type of aneurysm often present without symptoms and the SAAs are often found during investigati...

Visceral artery aneurysms and visceral artery pseudoaneurysms frequently present as life-threatening emergencies. Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm (HAP) is a very rare disease but in cases of complication, there is a very high mortality. The most common cause of HAP is iatrogenic trauma such as liver biopsy, transhepatic biliary drainage and cholecystectomy. We present a case of hepatic artery pse...

Type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) affect the aorta between the diaphragm and aortic bifurcation (Fig. 1). For technical reasons, the aneurysms affecting only the part of aorta from which visceral arteries arise are also categorized as type IV. The level of difficulty of surgical treatment for type IV TAAAs lies between that of type II, which involve descending thoracic and abdom...

Renal artery aneurysms are the second most common visceral artery aneurysms after splenic artery aneurysms, and before hepatic artery aneurysms. The study presented a case of a ruptured giant right renal artery aneurysm in a female patient. The presented case is worth mentioning, due to the giant size of the lesion. The diameter of the aneurysm exceeded 10 cm. Available literature data mentione...

BACKGROUND Aortic pathology progression and/or procedure related complications following endovascular repair should always be considered mostly in older patients. We herein describe a hybrid procedure for treatment of rapidly expanding thoracoabdominal aneurysm following endovascular treatment of a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm in an older patient. CASE PRESENTATION A 82-year-old man at...

Case reports to analyze causes and possible prevention of complications in a new setting are important. We present an open repair of a ruptured type 2 thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm in a 78-year-old man. Lower-body perfusion through a temporary extracorporeal axillobifemoral arterial prosthesis shunt was combined with the use of a branch to the permanent aortic prosthesis to enable rapid visc...

Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) are one of the common visceral aneurysms. However giant SAA have barely been reported. We discuss a case SAA, who had prior history caroli disease at stage secondary biliary cirrhosis for which he was candidate liver transplantation. The patient underwent open surgical repair. proximal and distal spenic were ligated from within aneurysm surgery completed with sple...

Background The definition of an aneurysm is a dilation artery more than 1.5 to 2 times its normal diameter. Visceral (or splanchnic) aneurysms include those concerning the celiac truncus, superior mesenteric artery, inferior and their branches. This classification does not aortic renal aneurysms. It rare, but clinically significant pathology because high mortality risk. Despite this rarity, cas...
