Visceral artery aneurysms

Abstract

In this case, due to theemergency, it was decided to resect theaneurysm and suture the aorta, which proved to be a good option when facing such a challenge, the patient presenting with a successful recovery after 40 days of hospitalization.Currently, most VAA can be treated by endovascular methods. The indications are the same as surgery: saccular form, symptoms of expansion or rupture.All pseudoaneurysms should be treated. According to Arno von Ristow, although there are authors who recommend the treatment of asymptomatic truncal VAA from 15mm diameter on, 20mm is the accepted limit;andit is a consensus that non-saccular asymptomatic saccular VAA that have three times the original diameter of the normal native artery require treatment.
