Visceral artery aneurysms are rarely reported. They can occur in the context of a variety of underlying diseases. These aneurysms may coexist with non-visceral arterial aneurysms.Here we describe an 80-year-old man with concomitant superior mesenteric, celiac, renal, and aorto-bi-iliac aneurysms. The patient was a hypertensive and hyperlipidemic old man with history of transient ischemic attack...

conclusion coil embolization showed successful outcomes in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms with a low complication rate. results immediately after the procedure, the total occlusion was seen in 76 (86.4%), subtotal occlusion in six (6.8%), and partial occlusion in six patients (6.8%). there was no significant relationship between the aneurysm size, aneurysm neck size, and location of th...

Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. The management of this disease is controversial. Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...

aneurysms of gastric vessels (dieulafoy`s disease, caliber-persistent artery) are thought to be of malformative rather than degenerative origin. they are usually single, located in the submucosa, usually on the lesser curvature, and characterized by a large tortuous vessel surmounted by a small defect in the overlying mucosa. when the lesion perforates, massive and sometimes fatal hemorrhage ma...

because of significant reduction of rupture rate and increase in the patient’s life expectancy, elective surgical treatment in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm has been widely accepted. the present article aims at assessing the postoperative complications and mortality rate in patients who had been submitted to elective surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysms. this is a retrospective stud...

interventional treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage is a standard therapy based on evidence from randomized trials. simple coiling is still used for most of the cases. modern coil technology provides a wide variety of complex shaped coils for faster procedures and reliable dense packing. the assistance of stents and balloons widens the indication...

a 38-year-old man with a history of recurrent genital ulceration initially diagnosed as genital herpes was admitted after presenting with paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. echocardiography revealed aneurysm formation of the sinus of valsalva. on diagnosis of an aneurysm of the sinus of valsalva associated with behçet's disease (bd), surgeon repaired the affected sinus only, and continuous steroid t...
