Pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms (PDA) are rare visceral aneurysms. Celiac trunk stenosis represents a common attributable aetiology for those aneurysms. Therefore, an alternative treatment approach, which differs from those isolated aneurysms, is recommended. We hereby present a 77-year-old male patient who was admitted with sudden onset of severe abdominal pain and significant drop in hae...

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.

Conventional open surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) is associated with high perioperative mortality and morbidity risk. Our report of successful treatment of a 56-year-old patient with TAAA involving all visceral arteries and with many comorbidities with a fenestrated stent graft supports its application in high-risk TAAA patients.

IMPORTANCE No endovascular devices are commercially available in the United States to treat high-surgical risk patients with aneurysms extending to visceral arteries. Treatment options are even further limited for symptomatic patients in need of urgent treatment. OBJECTIVE To describe a successful urgent endovascular repair of a juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with contained rupture. D...

Spontaneous isolated celiac artery dissection is a rare disease and patients without evidence of significant complications often resolve with medical therapy alone; however, the extension of the dissection can lead to more serious complications including aneurysmal dilatation, complete occlusion, and rupture of a visceral artery. In these patients, optimal management has not yet been clearly de...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) suffer from a high incidence of cardiovascular events (CVE). Visceral adiposity has been implicated in promoting CVEs. This study aimed to assess the association of relative visceral adipose volume with incident cardiovascular events in patients with peripheral artery disease. METHODS This was a pros...

Spinal cord deficit (SCD) is a feared complication after thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Vigilant management throughout the perioperative period necessary to reduce risk of SCD. Measures for preventing SCD during intraoperative include preoperative optimization and recognizing patients at higher In this manuscript, we discuss adjuncts including utilization cerebrospinal fluid drainage,...

INTRODUCTION True pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm occurrence is infrequent, but it is a fatal disease and accounts for accounts for <2% of all visceral aneurysms. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 62-year-old man with a two-day history of epigastric pain was admitted at emergency department. CT showed a retroperitoneal haematoma due to a 1.5cm posterior inferior PDA ruptured aneurysm. Angiography ha...

BACKGROUND Splenic artery aneurysms are the commonest visceral and third most common abdominal artery aneurysms, having a strong association with both pregnancy and multiparity. Here we report possibly the first case of a giant splenic artery aneurysm in association with a smaller portal vein aneurysm, in a woman who had never conceived, leading to non-cirrhotic portal hypertension. CASE PRES...
