Leal J, Batagini NC, Stefan de Faria Oliveira I, Frederico MG, Rodrigues MS, Casella IB, Simão da Silva E. Comparison of splenic artery aneurysms in patients with and without portal hypertension. Ann Vasc Surg 2024:S0890-5096(24)00410-2. [PMID: 39009114 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2024.06.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) are rare but seem to have higher incidence in patients with portal hypertension (PH). The present article aims to analyze the interference of portal hypertension (PH) in the natural history of these aneurysms. METHODS This was a retrospective study of data recorded prospectively. Between January 2000 and December 2019, all SAAs patients in follow-up at a tertiary institution were selected for analysis. Primary endpoint was to analyze the presentation and evolution of SAAs in patients with PH, and secondary was to identify cumulative rates of freedom from rupture, interventions and survival in this group, during a 10-year follow up. RESULTS In total, 96 patients were identified with SAAs, 79 (82.29%) did not have PH and 17 (17.7%) had this comorbidity. Among the demographic characteristics, the patients with SAAs and PH were significantly younger [52 years (SD 13.3) versus 61.9 years (SD 12.2) (p=0.05)] and had lower number of pregnancies [(1.1 pregnancies (SD 1.2) versus 3.37 pregnancies (SD 2.3) (p=0.03)]. Patients with PH had a higher cumulative rate of surgical intervention throughout follow-up (up to 75.6% in 10 years) when compared to patients without PH, with 36.9% intervention rate in 10 years of follow-up. Patients with PH had larger diameter at diagnosis (35mm, SD 27.3) compared to patients without PH (22.6 mm, SD 16.1), p = 0.008. However, there was no statistical differences in the relative growth rate, in aneurysmal rupture rate throughout follow-up, as well as in survival over the years, between the groups. CONCLUSIONS The patients with SAAs and PH are significantly younger, have larger SAA diameters at diagnosis and have a higher cumulative rate of surgical intervention throughout follow-up in 10 years, despite the relative growth rate being similar to that of patients without PH.

Abstract
Background Behcet's disease (BD) is a systematic vasculitis that affects vessels with various sizes, presenting as venous thrombosis and arterial pseudoaneurysms. The most severe manifestation in BD is ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm, which is associated with high risks of rupture and mortality. Case presentation We present a case of ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm in a 50-year-old patient with BD. After preoperative evaluation, coil embolization was successfully performed to treat the pseudoaneurysm, resulting in a satisfactory outcome at the 1-year follow-up. Conclusion Coil embolization serves as an effective treatment option for ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm in BD when open surgical repair and stent graft placement are unsuitable.

Abstract
We present a rare case of a 25-year-old woman with rheumatic heart disease who developed a superior mesenteric artery pseudoaneurysm (SMAPA) following infective endocarditis (IE). Initially, she presented with chest pain, dyspnea, and fever, leading to the diagnosis of IE and severe mitral regurgitation. After six weeks of antimicrobial therapy, she developed persistent abdominal pain. Further evaluation revealed a mycotic SMAPA, which was successfully treated with open surgical repair. Postoperatively, her abdominal pain improved significantly, and she was discharged on postoperative day five. The current case underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for mycotic pseudoaneurysms in patients with risk factors, even when they present with nonspecific symptoms. The findings also highlight the critical role of computed tomography angiography (CTA) in accurate diagnosis and preoperative planning. The favorable outcome supports current guidelines for managing mycotic SMA pseudoaneurysms in complex scenarios, emphasizing the need for adherence to established protocols and recommendations.

Abstract
A 53-year-old woman with a history of recurrent right lower quadrant pain presented with slightly bloody stools in April 2023. She was initially diagnosed with acute diverticulitis using an abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan and was treated conservatively. On the second day, however, she reported significant hematochezia. A subsequent contrast-enhanced CT scan revealed an extravasation in the ascending colon, which was promptly managed with colonoscopy. Despite initial hemostasis, she experienced recurrent bleeding. Another contrast-enhanced CT scan revealed a pseudoaneurysm with ongoing extravasation in the same area. Angiography confirmed a pseudoaneurysm in a branch of the ileocolic artery, which was successfully treated by embolization. She was discharged after an 18 day hospital stay. This case highlights a pseudoaneurysm caused by diverticulitis.

Abstract
Patients presenting with ascites should be properly evaluated to differentiate potential etiologies. Then, based on the evaluation, we can tailor more accurate treatment plans for patients. Cirrhosis is the most common cause, and others include cancer, heart failure, and, in our case, rarely a visceral artery rupture. Rupture of the splenic artery aneurysm can be lethal and should be considered as a possible differential in a patient with no previous history of heart failure, cancer, or cirrhosis. Our patient was identified after an initial misdiagnosis of possible ascites secondary to cirrhosis. However, input from an interventional radiologist led to proper identification and tailored management. Early treatment is crucial to prevent complications, including death.

Abstract
RATIONALE This case report discusses the CT-guided percutaneous drainage of a pancreatic pseudocyst accompanied by a pseudoaneurysm. Pancreatic pseudocysts can erode the peripancreatic artery and produce pseudoaneurysms. This is rare, but it can be life-threatening. PATIENT CONCERNS The case presented involves a 58-year-old female who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and underwent surgical treatment. She presented with hematochezia, dizziness, and hypodynamic findings with no obvious cause. Imaging revealed a pancreatic pseudocyst and small arterial aneurysms. To reduce the risk of aneurysm rupture, the patient underwent transcatheter arterial coil embolization. Three days later, CT-guided catheter drainage was performed to reduce the erosion of the arterial wall caused by pancreatic fluid. DIAGNOSES The contrast-enhanced-CT imaging showed a round, slightly high-density lesion in the cyst, suggesting the presence of a pseudoaneurysm. INTERVENTIONS The patient was sent for another transcatheter arterial embolization with coils and n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. OUTCOMES After receiving the transcatheter arterial embolization, the patient had no serious bleeding or other complications. LESSONS Early detection and accurate assessment of pseudoaneurysms are essential for appropriate management. This case shows that contrast-enhanced CT is necessary before CT-guided percutaneous drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts. It also shows that, due to the many complications that pancreatic pseudocysts may cause, appropriate treatment of pseudocysts complicated with pseudoaneurysm has important clinical significance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Omental artery aneurysm (OAA) is an extremely rare visceral artery aneurysm. Ruptured OAAs are associated with a high mortality rate. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) has been used to treat OAA in recent years. However, the risk of omental ischemia due to TAE remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of TAE of OAA as a first-line treatment. METHODS Fifteen patients with true aneurysms or pseudoaneurysms who underwent OAA-TAE between 1 April 2010 and 31 December 2022 were included in this study. The technical and clinical outcomes, the incidence of omental infarction after TAE as a major complication, OAA-TAE techniques, radiological findings on computed tomography angiography and angiogram, and patient characteristics were evaluated. RESULTS Fifteen patients (nine men, six women; age, 69.8 ± 18.59 years) underwent TAE of OAAs (mean aneurysm size of 9.30 ± 6.10 mm) located in the right gastroepiploic (n = 9), left gastroepiploic (n = 1), and epiploic (n = 5) arteries. All patients with ruptured (n = 6) and unruptured (n = 9) OAA successfully underwent TAEs using coils, n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, or gelatin sponges. Hepatic artery thrombosis and coil migration were observed during the procedure; however, these adverse events were manageable. Transfusion of red blood cell units (4.66 ± 1.63 units) was required only in cases with ruptured OAAs after TAE. Additional surgery or TAE due to rupture or rerupture of OAA and omental infarction was not required during the postoperative and follow-up periods. CONCLUSION The OAA-TAE can effectively treat ruptured and unruptured OAAs, and the risk of omental infarction after OAA-TAE may not be high.

Two-Stage Endovascular Treatment of a Traumatic Pseudoaneurysm of Superior Mesenteric Artery Branch in a Soldier After a Military Combat Mission. Mil Med 2024; 189:e923-e926.

Abstract
Aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms of the visceral arteries are a rare pathology with a prevalence of 0.1-2% in the general population, most common in men. Despite low prevalence, visceral aneurysms pose a significant threat to the patient's health and life; a ruptured superior mesenteric branch aneurysm carries mortality rates of 10-25% and up to 30-90%. This article presents a case of a 50-year-old former active duty soldier and veteran of a military combat mission in Afghanistan, during which he sustained a traumatic injury resulting from a mine explosion under a vehicle. After completing the mission and returning home, the patient developed abdominal pain. The diagnosis made in the general surgery department of the district hospital was upper gastrointestinal obstruction and aneurysmal rupture of the superior mesenteric branch with inflammatory infiltration of the pancreatic-intestinal area. The patient underwent emergency gastrointestinal anastomosis and Braun enteroenterostomy. The aneurysm was not resected. One month later, the patient underwent a follow-up abdominal angiotomography, which revealed an approximately 20-mm aneurysm of a branch of the superior mesenteric artery and celiac artery subocclusion (Dunbar syndrome) with extensive collateral circulation. A diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm/traumatic aneurysm was made, and the patient was referred to a vascular surgery center for endovascular treatment. Following CT angiography, a decision was made to perform a two-stage endovascular repair. The first stage was a bridge therapy aimed to release celiac artery subocclusion with a stent; after 3 weeks, pseudoaneurysm embolization was performed. The decision to use two-stage endovascular treatment was attributable to the risk of gastrointestinal ischemia that might result from intraoperative technical difficulties and complications, coil dislocation, and thrombosis of the superior mesenteric artery or its branch; the coexisting subocclusion of the celiac artery was also considered. The patient was discharged in good condition and returned to normal everyday activities. He also continued follow-up appointments with a vascular surgeon. An angiotomography performed at 1 year of endovascular treatment confirmed good effects of the embolization procedure and coagulation of the aneurysm. Visceral aneurysms are a rare vascular pathology but are associated with significant morbidity and mortality rates. The incidence of ruptured aneurysms is probably underestimated as some patients may be operated on for acute abdominal symptoms, e.g., bowel obstruction.

Abstract
Introduction and importance In endovascular treatment of ruptured pseudoaneurysm after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with gastrointestinal bleeding, treatment for vasospasm of the culprit vessel from haemorrhagic shock and subsequent reperfusion has not been determined before. Case presentation The authors hereby present you with a case of a 59-year-old man with unknown operative method upon arrival at the Emergecy room and who had hematemesis and collapse 6 months post-PD surgery. Clinical discussion An initial contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed no obvious source of bleeding, so an upper gastrointestinal endoscope was performed. Rebleeding occurred during the examination, and interventional radiology was performed because haemostasis was difficult. Coil embolization was performed for leakage of contrast material from the gastroduodenal artery stump into the gastrointestinal tract. However, because the embolization was uncertain due to vasospasm of the common hepatic artery, endoscopic clipping of the perforation site was also performed to prevent rebleeding due to reperfusion after improvement of vasospasm. A CT scan 5 days later showed reperfusion of the coil-implanted vessel. No rebleeding or hepatic infarction occurred postoperatively. Conclusion In this case, the haemostasis by coil embolization was uncertain due to the presence of vasospasm, and clipping was used in combination with the procedure to prevent rebleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endovascular treatment of visceral and renal artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms is an effective, minimally invasive treatment that has been successfully used since the early 1990s, with refined and expanded techniques and tools currently offering excellent outcomes. Due to increased detection of such lesions in recent years, many of which are asymptomatic, revision of the indications for intervention and the correct endovascular treatment approaches has become essential. PURPOSE This document will presume that the indication for treatment is clear and approved by the multidisciplinary team and will define the standards required for the performance of each intervention, as well as their relative advantages and limitations. CIRSE Standards of Practice documents are not intended to impose a standard of clinical patient care, but recommend a reasonable approach to, and best practices for, the performance of the endovascular treatment of visceral and renal artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms. METHODS The writing group was established by the CIRSE Standards of Practice Committee and consisted of five clinicians with internationally recognised expertise in endovascular treatments. The writing group reviewed the existing literature on visceral and renal artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms, performing an evidence search using PubMed to identify publications in English and relating to human subjects from 1990 to 2022. The final recommendations were formulated through consensus. RESULTS Endovascular treatment has an established role in the successful management of visceral and renal artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms, and this Standards of Practice document provides up-to-date recommendations for its safe performance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Timely diagnosis and treatment of intra-abdominal arterial aneurysms before rupture are highly recommended. We successfully prevented rupture through arterial aneurysm excision, highlighting the importance of the lack of reports on resection before rupture. CASE PRESENTATION A 60-year-old male with previous history of ureteral stones presented complaining primarily of left-sided abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a left ureteral stone and incidentally identified a submucosal gastric tumor and right gastric artery aneurysm, leading to referral to our department. Blood tests showed no abnormalities. CT revealed a 23-mm submucosal tumor protruding outward from the middle gastric body wall. A 13-mm aneurysm was observed in the right gastric artery, and no other aneurysms were detected, including intracranially. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a smooth elevation covered by normal mucosa in the middle gastric body. Endoscopic ultrasound-fine needle aspiration resulted in a diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and surgery. We performed simultaneous surgery involving laparoscopic local resection of the gastric GIST and identification and excision of the right gastric artery aneurysm due to its enlargement (7 mm on CT conducted six years ago). The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and he was discharged on postoperative day 6. Pathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of segmental arterial mediolysis. DISCUSSION Intra-abdominal arterial aneurysms affect approximately 1 % of the population. Splenic artery aneurysms are the most common at 58.7 %, whereas the gastric artery and gastroepiploic artery account for only 4.7 %. CONCLUSION Right gastric artery aneurysms are exceedingly rare, with no reported cases of successful resection before rupture.

Abstract
Visceral artery pseudoaneurysms, including inferior mesenteric artery pseudoaneurysms, are rare, occurring at an estimated incidence of 0.01%-0.2%. The literature reports only around 60 cases of inferior mesenteric pseudoaneurysm to date. The management of this condition lacks a consensus; nevertheless, coil embolization remains the preferred approach for stable patients. Here, we present a unique clinical scenario involving a 59-year-old male who underwent exploratory laparotomy for a retroperitoneal hematoma. Subsequently, he was diagnosed with an inferior mesenteric pseudoaneurysm, specifically affecting the left colic artery, and successfully managed using coil embolization.

Abstract
Superior mesenteric artery aneurysms are rare and associated with high mortality rates in cases of rupture. Current Society for Vascular Surgery guidelines recommend treatment of all superior mesenteric artery aneurysms regardless of size. A 53-year-old woman who was admitted for abdominal pain was found with a 14-cm, ruptured superior mesenteric artery branch aneurysm. Endovascular approach was performed with microvascular plug embolization of a feeding branch and aneurysm sac exclusion with a stent graft. Four months later, the patient demonstrated a 21% regression of the aneurysm and stent patency. Thus, timely diagnosis and treatment of superior mesenteric artery aneurysms with endovascular techniques can reduce potential complications.

Abstract
This article provides an overview of acute mesenteric ischemia, chronic mesenteric ischemia, and visceral aneurysms, with a focus on treatment. Acute mesenteric ischemia can be a challenging diagnosis. Early recognition and adequate revascularization are key to patient outcomes. Chronic mesenteric ischemia is a more insidious process, typically caused by atherosclerosis. Various options for revascularization exist, which must be tailored to each patient. Visceral aneurysms are rare and the natural history is not well defined. However, given the risk of rupture and high mortality, treatment may be complex.

Abstract
Acute necrotic pancreatitis is an emergency of evolution and is often unpredictable because of the potentially life-threatening complications it can cause. We report a unique case of a 56-year-old woman hospitalized for acute necrotic pancreatitis. The evolution of the latter was characterized by the occurrence of two very rare complications, of which the clinical presentations were atypical. The first complication was a gastroduodenal pseudoaneurysm compressing the main biliary tract and causing obstructive jaundice, which evolved well following percutaneous embolization. The second complication was a giant 20 cm pancreatic pseudocyst revealed by obstructive jaundice secondary to biliary compression, which progressed well following surgical treatment.

Abstract
Visceral artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare disease that most commonly occurs in male patients in their 50s, with gastroduodenal artery (GDA) pseudoaneurysm accounting for only 1.5% of these. The treatment options generally include open surgery and endovascular treatment. In 40 cases of GDA pseudoaneurysm from 2001 to 2022, endovascular therapy was the mainstay of treatment in 30 cases, and most of them (77%) were treated by coil embolization. Our case report describes a 76-year-old female patient with a GDA pseudoaneurysm, which was treated by endovascular embolization using liquid embolic agent N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) alone. This is the first time this treatment strategy has been used for GDA pseudoaneurysm. We demonstrate a successful outcome with this unique treatment. The successful experience of our case may provide a new treatment strategy for this rare disease.

Abstract
A true aneurysm of the celiac artery is a rare form of a visceral aneurysm, constituting ∼4% of visceral aneurysms. Mortality in ruptured cases is high; thus, early recognition and treatment are crucial. Recent guidelines suggest endovascular therapy; however, numerous complications are associated with endoluminal treatment. Open repair in select cases, using an individualized strategy fit for the patient's anatomy still provides excellent early and long-term results. Our patient was treated with open surgical resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the celiac and common hepatic arteries. A 43-month follow-up computed tomography angiogram revealed excellent hepatic artery patency and no pseudoaneurysm formation.

Abstract
Endovascular embolization of bleeding vessels in trauma and non-trauma patients is frequently used and is an important tool for bleeding control. It is included in the EVTM (endovascular resuscitation and trauma management) concept and its use in patients with hemodynamic instability is increasing. When the correct embolization tool is chosen, a dedicated multidisciplinary team can rapidly and effectively achieve bleeding control. In this article, we will describe the current use and possibilities for embolization of major hemorrhage (traumatic and non-traumatic) and the published data supporting these techniques as part of the EVTM concept.

Abstract
Spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma is rare and can cause duodenal obstruction. We report four cases of spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma with duodenal obstruction, wherein endoscopic ultrasound was useful for diagnosis. The patients complained of vomiting with stable vital signs. Computed tomography, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and endoscopic ultrasound findings were similar in all cases. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a low-density mass around the 2nd to 3rd part of the duodenum. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed an edematous, reddish, but non-neoplastic duodenal mucosa with stenosis of the lumen. Endoscopic ultrasound revealed a low-echoic mass around the duodenum and high-echoic floating matter suggesting debris and anechoic areas that indicated a liquid component. These findings suggested hematomas or abscesses. Although pseudoaneurysm of the pancreaticoduodenal artery was suspected in Case 3, we chose conservative treatment because the aneurysm was small. In Case 4, median arcuate ligament syndrome was suspected on angiography. No aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations were found; thus, endovascular embolization was not performed. The patients were treated conservatively and discharged within 3-5 weeks. English literature queries on spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma with duodenal obstruction in MEDLINE revealed 21 cases in 18 studies. The clinical features of these patients and the present four cases have been discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm (PDAA) is rare and has high rupture risks. PDAA rupture has a wide range of clinical symptoms, including abdominal pain, nausea, syncope, and hemorrhagic shock, which is difficult to differentiate from other diseases. PATIENT CONCERNS A 55-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital due to abdominal pain for 11 days. DIAGNOSIS Acute pancreatitis was initially diagnosed. The patient's hemoglobin decreased compared to before admission, suggesting that active bleeding may occur. CT volume diagram and maximum intensity projection diagram show that a small aneurysm with a diameter of about 6 mm can be seen at the pancreaticoduodenal artery arch. The patient was diagnosed with a rupture and hemorrhage of the small pancreaticoduodenal aneurysm. INTERVENTIONS Interventional treatment was performed. After the microcatheter was selected for the branch of the diseased artery for angiography, the pseudoaneurysm was displayed and embolized. OUTCOMES The angiography showed that the pseudoaneurysm was occluded, and the distal cavity was not redeveloped. CONCLUSION The clinical manifestations of PDAA rupture were significantly correlated with the aneurysm diameter. Because of small aneurysms, the bleeding is limited around the peripancreatic and duodenal horizontal segments, accompanied by abdominal pain, vomiting, and elevated serum amylase, similar to the clinical manifestations of acute pancreatitis but accompanied by the decrease of hemoglobin. This will help us to improve our understanding of the disease, avoid misdiagnosis, and provide the basis for clinical treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The laparoscopic and open approaches have comparable safety and oncological efficacy to treat early (T1b or T2) stage incidental gallbladder cancer (IGBC). However, their effects on T3 stage or above tumors unclear. METHODS Data of IGBC patients who underwent radical re-resection were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic characteristics, surgical variables, and tumor characteristics were evaluated for association with survival. RESULTS We analyzed retrospectively 201 patients (72 men, 129 women; median age 63 years; range, 36-85 years). 84 underwent laparoscopic re-resection and 117 underwent open surgery. The 5-year OS post-resection was 74.7%, with a median survival of 74.52 months. The median OS (73.92 months vs. 77.04 months, P = 0.67), and disease-free survival (72.60 months vs. 71.09 months, P = 0.18) were comparable between the laparoscopic re-resection and open surgery groups. The survival of patients with T1/T2 (median: 85.50 months vs. 80.14 months; P = 0.67) and T3 (median: 68.56 months vs. 58.85 months; P = 0.36) disease were comparable between the open re-resection and laparoscopic re-resection groups even after PS matching. Open surgery group lost significantly more blood, while laparoscopic surgery took longer. The postsurgical stay in the laparoscopic re-resection group was significantly shorter. Combined extrahepatic bile duct resection, gallbladder perforation, pT, pStage, histological grade, microscopic liver invasion, status of the resected margin, and adjuvant therapy comprised significant independent prognostic indicators for IGBC. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic and open surgery can achieve similar short and long-term outcomes for T3 IGBC; however, careful surgical manipulation is necessary to avoid secondary injuries.

Abstract
A 41-year-old male presented to the emergency department of a regional Australian hospital with chest and abdominal pain. He became rapidly haemodynamically unstable and was diagnosed with a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm and large volume hemoperitoneum. Due to the regional location of our small hospital, endovascular services are not available and the patient required emergency laparotomy. At laparotomy, a 2 L hemoperitoneum was evacuated, and the bleeding splenic artery aneurysm was identified and controlled. The aneurysm was approached with a unique technique via division of the gastro colic omentum to enter the lesser sac. This allowed adequate exposure of the splenic artery and proximal and distal control of the vessel was achieved. Adequate perfusion to the spleen was preserved by this surgical technique and splenectomy was therefore not required. This study details the management of this patient, details of the interoperative technique, and a discussion regarding splenic artery aneurysms. Splenic artery control and ligation without splenectomy may be considered in appropriate patients and splenectomy is therefore not always required in cases of hemodynamic instability where open surgical management is performed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) are associated with significant maternal and fetal mortality when ruptured in pregnancy. However, there is no consensus on the optimal obstetric management of both ruptured and asymptomatic SAA. We aimed to evaluate risk factors, presentation, investigation, and management of SAA in pregnancy and puerperium. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Scopus were screened from January 2000 to October 2020 using keywords related to pregnancy and SAA. Articles on ruptured and unruptured SAA in pregnancy until 6 weeks postpartum were considered. Data were extracted by two independent reviewers. Quantitative analysis and narrative synthesis were used. RESULTS Seventy-five ruptured and nine unruptured SAA cases were included. Mean age was 31.1 ± 5.2 years, of which 47 (64.4%) were multiparous and 46 (54.8%) presented in their third trimester, largely with epigastric and left-sided abdominal pain. The double-rupture phenomenon of delayed blood loss and symptoms was noted in 11 (14.7%); 60 (70.7%) underwent preoperative imaging. Mean SAA size was 23.0 ± 13.6 mm. Ruptured SAA were primarily managed by laparotomy (61, 81.3%) typically with splenectomy, and unruptured SAA by embolization or laparotomy. There was no mortality in unruptured SAA, but significant mortality on rupture (19, 25.7% maternal; 36, 50.0% fetal). CONCLUSION Given their predisposition and high mortality in pregnancy, it is crucial that SAAs are promptly diagnosed and managed, requiring increased obstetrician awareness.

Abstract
Despite the insigniϐicant prevalence, aneurysms of the splenicartery take a dominant share among all visceral aneurysms with a predominance of morbidity in women of childbearing age. Taking into account the mostly asymptomatic course and the high risk of mortality due to its rupture, timely diagnosis and correct treatment strategy remain extremely important. Questions regarding the choice of surgical treatment tactics for patients with this pathology remain debatable.
The aim. Demonstration of a clinical case, improvement of diagnosis andsurgical treatment of patients with splenic artery aneurysms.
Clinical case. Female patient G., 32 years old, with complaints of periodic pain in the left hypochondrium, signs of portal hypertension against the background of cavernous transformationof the portal vein, history of recurrent bleeding from the esophageal veins, hypersplenism admitted with a pre-diagnosed aneurysm of the splenic artery of giant dimensions (diameter 8x5 cm). The patient was qualified for open surgery and aneurysm resection with splenectomy and spleen autotransplantation by N. Roth. The postoperative period was complicated by the occurrence of reactive pancreatitis on day 7, which was successfully treated conservatively. In the future, the course was unremarkable. The remote follow-up lasted two years, and no recurrence of the aneurysm was detected. The performed immunogram showed normal results.
Conclusion. The timely diagnosis makes it possible to establish the correct diagnosis, justify the treatment tactics and prevent fatal complications. Open surgical intervention in somecases remains the method of choice in the treatment of this pathology. Autotransplantation of the spleen has shown good long-term results and can be performed in patients of this category for the prevention of immunodeficiency states.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Jejunal artery (JA) and ileal artery (IA) aneurysms constitute less than 3% of all visceral artery aneurysms (VAAs), carrying a risk of rupture as high as 30%, and a mortality of 20%. Though many etiologies have been reported in the literature, no mention exists on a causal association between these aneurysms and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). We present the first case of a JA aneurysm related to Crohn's Disease (CD) together with a review of the literature. Materials and Methods: A 74-year-old male presenting with CD intestinal relapse and an incidental finding at the computed tomography enterography (CTE) of a 53 × 47 × 25mm apparently intact JA pseudoaneurysm, arising from the first and second jejunal branches, underwent coil embolization followed by small bowel resection, with an uneventful outcome. We also included the review of literature on JA and IA aneurysms, analyzing all reports published in PubMed and Scopus from 1943 to July 2022. Results: 60 manuscripts with 103 cases of JA and IA aneurysms in 100 patients were identified. Among cases with available data, 34 (33.0%) presented acutely with rupture, 45 (43.7%) were described as non-ruptured. 83 (80.6%), and 14 (13.6%) were JA and IA aneurysms, respectively, having a median size of 15 (range:3.5-52) mm. Atherosclerosis (16.5%), infections (10.7%), and vasculitides/connective tissue disorders (9.7%) represented the main causes mentioned. Mean age was 53.6 (±19.2) years, male patients being 59.4%. One third of patients (32.4%) were asymptomatic. Overall, treatment was indicated in 63% of patients, with surgery and endovascular procedures performed in 61.9% and 38.1% cases, respectively. The technical success rate of endovascular treatment (EVT) was 95.8%. The mortality rate was 11.8%, being higher (21.2%) in the rupture group. Conclusions: The prompt treatment accomplished in our case granted a successful outcome. JA and IA aneurysms should be included among local complications of IBD. Considering their high potential for rupture, regardless of size, a low threshold for endovascular or surgical treatment should be applied.

Ann Gastroenterol Surg 2022; 7:182-189. [PMID: 36643356 PMCID: PMC9831908 DOI: 10.1002/ags3.12609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2022] [Accepted: 07/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Celiac artery (CA) occlusion or stenosis is identified in up to almost half of all patients undergoing abdominal angiography, and the resulting increased collateral blood flow from the superior mesenteric artery to the pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) may cause PDA aneurysms (PDAAs). PDAAs are rare but could be fatal if they rupture. However, treatment of the PDAA could block this important collateral blood flow pathway, leading to ischemic organ damage. Treatment of such aneurysms is therefore difficult, especially in patients with multiple PDAAs. Successful treatment of PDAAs requires establishing blood flow in the CA region and selecting which aneurysm(s) to treat. We present four patients who underwent surgery for unruptured PDAAs caused by CA obstruction. Blood flow in the CA region was established by bypassing the splenic artery and by anastomosing it either directly to the left renal artery (n = 1) or to the abdominal aorta using a graft (saphenous vein: n = 1; artificial vessel: n = 2). Three patients had multiple PDAAs: all PDAAs were treated in one patient with PDAAs of similar size and shape, but only the largest PDAA with the highest risk of rupture was treated in the other two patients to simplify the procedure. The median observation period was 19.5 months (range: 11-28 months), and all patients were alive without recurrence at the time of writing. Surgical treatment including splenic artery bypass may thus be a viable option for treating patients with unruptured PDAAs.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute respiratory syndrome caused by SARS-CoV-2 and is known to cause respiratory and systemic symptoms. A SARS-CoV-2 infection is involved in aneurysm formation, enlargement, and rupture in medium-sized vessels, such as the cerebral and coronary arteries and the aorta. In contrast, its involvement in forming aneurysms in medium-sized vessels other than the cerebral and coronary arteries has not been reported. An 84-year-old Japanese man with COVID-19 was admitted to our hospital. The treatment course was favorable, and the COVID-19 treatment was completed by the 10th day. On day 14, pancreatic enzymes increased mildly. An abdominal computed tomography revealed a ruptured left gastric aneurysm after spontaneous hemostasis. Arterial embolization was performed. In this patient, a new left gastric aneurysm was suspected of having formed and ruptured during the course of the COVID-19 treatment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of abdominal visceral aneurysm formation caused by COVID-19 in a medium-sized vessel, and it is necessary to remember that aneurysms can be formed at any site when treating this syndrome.

Abstract
Gastroduodenal artery aneurysms (GDAA) and pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms (PDAA) are rare, have high rupture risks, and are located in the arcade between the celiac artery and the superior mesenteric artery. Pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms are associated with celiac artery stenosis, and it is hypothesized that these celiac lesions might contribute to the formation of aneurysms. In contrast, a few studies have reported an association between a gastroduodenal artery aneurysm and celiac lesions. This study aimed to investigate the potential differences between patients with gastroduodenal and pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms and better understand their pathogenesis.We selected patients with GDAA and PDAA who were admitted to our department between January 2010 and December 2020. Aortic wall volume, aortic wall calcification, and pancreaticoduodenal arcade volume of computed tomography images were calculated semi-manually using Horos 3.3.5.Eight GDAAs and 11 PDAAs were analyzed. Celiac lesions were found in all PDAA patients, with none in GDAA cases. Volumetry demonstrated that aortic wall volume and calcification were more prominent in the GDAA group than in the PDAA group (P = .026 and P = .049, respectively). The pancreaticoduodenal arcade volume was larger in the PDAA group (P = .002).In our study, celiac artery lesions were strongly correlated with PDAA. The volume of the pancreaticoduodenal arcade was larger in the PDAA group, and aortic wall volume and calcification were larger in the GDAA group.

Abstract
Inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) aneurysms represent the minority of visceral aneurysm presentations. A 57-year-old female was admitted with a symptomatic IMA aneurysm secondary to atherosclerotic disease. She was treated with open excision which revealed a contained ruptured of a true aneurysm. This case highlights the challenges of an accurate preoperative diagnosis of IMA aneurysm and the correct position of the recent guidelines on visceral aneurysms issued by the Society of Vascular Surgery (SVS).

Abstract
Visceral artery aneurysms (VAA) are a rare entity of arterial aneurysms with the imminent threat of rupture. The impact of cancer and chemotherapy on the growth of VAAs is unknown. A retrospective dual center cohort study of patients with concomitant VAA and different types of cancer was conducted and the impact of various chemotherapeutic agents on VAA growth was studied by sequential CT analysis. For comparison, a non-cancer all comer cohort with VAAs and no cancer was studied to compare different growth rates. The primary endpoint was aneurysm progress or regression >1.75 mm. Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test and Mann-Whitney test was used for statistical comparison. In the 17-year-period from January 2003 to March 2020, 59 patients with 30 splenic artery aneurysms, 14 celiac trunk aneurysms, 11 renal artery aneurysms and 4 other VAA and additional malignancy were identified. 20% of patients suffered from prostate cancer, the rest were heterogeneous. The most prevalent chemotherapies were alkylating agents (23%), antimetabolites (14%) and mitose inhibitors (10%). Eight patients had relevant growth of their VAA and one patient showed diameter regression (average growth rate 0.1 ± 0.5 mm/year). Twenty-nine patients with 14 splenic, 11 RAAs (seven right) and 4 celiac trunk aneurysms were available in the non-cancer comparison cohort (average growth rate 0.5 ± 0.9 mm/year, p = 0.058). However, the growth rate of patients receiving operative treatment for relevant VAA growth was significantly higher (p = 0.004). VAAs grow rarely, and rather slow. Cancer and/or chemotherapy do not significantly influence the annual growth rate. Additional control examinations seem unnecessary.

Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysms account for nearly 9000 deaths annually, with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms being the thirteenth leading cause of death in the United States. Abdominal aortic aneurysms can be detected by screening, but a majority are detected incidentally. Visceral artery aneurysms are often discovered incidentally, and treatment is guided by symptoms, etiology, and size. A timely diagnosis and referral to a vascular specialist are essential for timely open or endovascular repair and to ensure successful patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Visceral artery aneurysms (VAAs) are associated with a very high mortality rate when ruptured and may present as a surgical emergency. Due to their rarity and varying pathophysiology, literature concerning the optimal management of VAAs is limited. This review evaluates the evolving management options for VAAs with a focus on open and endovascular repair. METHODS A combination of databases including OVID, PubMed and Medline were used to perform a literature search. Search terms employed include 'visceral artery aneurysms', 'angiography', '3D-volumetric rendering', 'management', 'open repair' and 'endovascular repair', amongst others. RESULTS 3D modelling in conjunction with existing diagnostic techniques, such as computed tomography and angiography, may improve diagnostic sensitivity. The literature surrounding operative management of VAAs highlights the effectiveness of endovascular repair for anatomically suitable aneurysms. Advances in endovascular technologies may expand the type and number of aneurysms amenable to catheter-based treatment approaches. For aneurysms not amenable to endovascular treatment, or those with an emergency indication, open repair remains an appropriate management choice. CONCLUSION Although rare, VAAs pose a high mortality risk, especially when ruptured. Practical limitations that restrict current operative approaches may be overcome by recent developments including novel neurointerventional techniques that have been applied in VAA management.

Abstract
Visceral arterial aneurysms are uncommon pathologies, with an uncertain ethology and no clear treatment guidelines. As in our case, where we treated a 70 y.o. male patient, who came to us for un unspecific abdominal pain. So, he practiced a CT total body with contrast, presenting a celiac trunk aneurysm with involvement of the hepatic and splenic artery and therefore the team decided for an endovascular treatment, successfully obtained. Our experience is about the description of a case in its most practical and technical aspect, especially in complicated or rare conditions.

Abstract
Introduction & importance Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAA) are rare and it accounts 20% of all visceral artery aneurysms. Commonly HAAs are autopsy findings, but rupture and bleeding carrying significant morbidity and can manifest as haemobilia. Case presentation A 63-year-old Sri Lankan male presented with severe melaena upper abdominal pain and features of obstructive jaundice was found to have a giant pseudoaneurysm at the right hepatic artery with the possible arterio-biliary fistula. The etiology for the pseudoaneurysm was not identified. Despite massive transfusion, the patient died before the endovascular intervention. Clinical discussion Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of HAA formation but can be associated with connective tissue disorders and arteritis. Most of the HAA are asymptomatic. Aneurysms can be managed with surgical or endovascular interventions. Conclusion Life-threatening haemobilia is a notorious complication of the rapture of HAA into the biliary system. The incidents of hepatic artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms due to percutaneous transhepatic interventions and minimal invasive hepatobiliary surgeries are in the rising trend. Nonleaking VAA can be best treated with endovascular treatment. The knowledge on this topic is important for the early detection and intervention of this rare entity. Massive Gastrointestinal bleeding can be haemobilia. Rupture of vascular aneurysms into the biliary system can cause severe haemobilia. Incidents of Hepatic artery aneurysms due to minimal invasive transhepatic procedures are in a rising trend. Non-leaking Visceral artery aneurysms can be managed best with Endovascular treatment.

Abstract
A 71-year-old man was referred to our hospital under a diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The past history of the patient included a sigmoid colectomy at 64 years old for an ischemic colitis. The maximum diameter of AAA was still 45 mm, and the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) was aneurysmal and was 30 mm in diameter and thrombosed. The growth rate in the diameter of IMA aneurysm was 5 mm per year for the last 3 years. The patient successfully underwent endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), and the postoperative course was good. At 5 years after EVAR, computed tomography revealed a decrease in the diameter of both aneurysms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traumatic rupture of the ascending aorta is a life-threatening injury, with a survival rate of around 15% to 20%. Treatment with open surgical repair is the criterion standard. However, open surgical repair is associated with high mortality and morbidity in patients with multiple traumas. There are no systematic data on traumatic thoracic rupture and aorta rupture in a cohort of patients who had undergone partial or total replacement of the thoracic aorta. We can only speculate about the mechanisms and consequences of such an injury. Therefore, even unorthodox endovascular techniques are a welcome advancement in this field and should be considered, providing they do not compromise patient safety. CASE REPORT A 61-year-old man presented with polytrauma after a fall from height. Since the patient had a history of a Bentall procedure, hypertension, coronary disease, and nicotinism, we quickly excluded open surgery as a treatment option. However, the patient's condition, additional injuries, and anatomical features prompted us to perform coil pseudoaneurysm, reducing his operative trauma and allowing for his faster recovery and early rehabilitation. The patient has remained under careful clinical supervision. The result of the patient's 1-year follow-up was satisfactory. CONCLUSIONS In this case, the endovascular approach was an effective, if temporary, option to open or hybrid surgery. This demonstrates that minimally invasive surgery can be helpful in some patients and can also be helpful as a bridge therapy. A good rapport between the surgeon and the patient is crucial to understanding the advantages and disadvantages of such treatment.

Abstract
Hepatic Artery Aneurysm (HAA) is a rare disease, but it can be a life-threatening pathology if it is ruptured. Multi-Detector Computed Tomography has to be considered the “gold standard” diagnostic imaging in detecting HAA and it is essential for treatment planning. Treatment for HAA can be surgical or endovascular. Endovascular approaches in HAA, compare to conventional abdominal surgery, benefit in less invasive treatments. The aim of our paper is to emphasize the three possible endovascular therapeutic techniques in HAA: packing embolization, isolation embolization and stenting deployment.

Abstract
Aneurysms of the pancreaticoduodenal arteries are a rare condition. In the majority of cases, diagnosis is made in emergency situations due to complications such as rupture, which is associated with high mortality rates (21-26%). Embolization of the aneurysm sac is the treatment of choice, because of its high efficacy and lower mortality. This article presents and discusses a case of inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm that was diagnosed during investigation of gastrointestinal symptoms. The treatment provided was microcoil embolization, with complete exclusion of the aneurysm and a good clinical course.

Abstract
Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) account for 46-60% of all visceral artery aneurysms. Small SAAs are usually asymptomatic, but giant aneurysms are more likely to cause symptoms and can result in life-threatening complications. Treatment of a splenic artery aneurysms includes laparotomy, laparoscopy or endovascular techniques. Case presentation: In this article, seven interesting cases of splenic artery aneurysms in different size and parts of artery and various interventions (open, endovascular and hybrid surgery) are discussed. Six of the patients were male. Five of them had giant SAAs (≥5 cm). Two patients underwent hybrid surgery. Coil embolization was carried out for one patient. All seven patients discharged with no procedure-related complications. Endovascular procedures considered as a first choice of treatment for splenic artery aneurysm. Open surgery is reserved mostly for the treatment of complications or if the endovascular techniques fail, lack of availability of endovascular procedures or allergy to contrast medium.

Abstract
Cirsoid aneurysms are rare arteriovenous malformations without any capillaries interposed and almost always observed in the scalp region. These types of aneurysms are so-called "cirsoid" because of their serpiginous appearance. In this report, the authors present the first case of a lethal spontaneous rupture of a cirsoid aneurysm of the splenic artery, which could be diagnosed only by post-mortem histologic examination. The victim was a 70-year-old man who was suddenly found dead in bed while he was hospitalized and waiting for a scheduled cardiac surgery. A forensic autopsy was ordered due to the suspicion that the man's death could have been related to medical malpractice. An accurate autopsy and a complete forensic histologic examination could clarify the cause of death, which was identified in the spontaneous rupture of a cirsoid aneurysm of the splenic artery. The case is intended to be used as source data for similar forensic cases, where the cause of a massive hemoperitoneum is difficult to be identified.

Abstract
Although rare, superior mesenteric artery aneurysms (SMAAs) are life-threatening due to their high rupture rate. We herein report a case involving an 80-year-old man who presented with acute cholecystitis and who was incidentally found to have a 36-mm peripheral SMAA. A surgical intervention was performed, involving resection of the SMAA and reconstruction of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) using an autologous vein graft. Intraoperative and histological findings indicated an inflammatory aneurysm, and the postoperative course was uneventful. We believe that resection of the aneurysm and reconstruction of the SMA is the preferred procedure for SMAAs to maintain adequate mesenteric circulations.

Abstract
Visceral artery aneurysms (VAAs) are uncommon with an approximate incidence of 0.01%-0.2%. Gastroduodenal artery (GDA) aneurysm is a rare subtype of these uncommon visceral aneurysms that can be fatal if ruptured. We present a case of a 58-year-old Caucasian woman with a VAA and a large haematoma arising from an actively bleeding GDA. While patients with VAA may remain asymptomatic, with some of the aneurysms found incidentally during imaging, they may also present with abdominal pain, anaemia and possible multiorgan failure which may be fatal.

Abstract
Splenic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare phenomenon most associated with chronic pancreatitis or previous trauma. Complications can include erosion and rupture into local structures, a situation that carries a reported mortality of 10–40%. A 58-year-old male with chronic alcoholic pancreatitis and a known splenic artery pseudoaneurysm presented to the emergency department of a regional hospital with rectal bleeding and sepsis. Computed tomography revealed a peri-splenic mass communicating with the splenic flexure. The patient was taken for an emergency splenectomy and left hemicolectomy and was confirmed to have rupture of the splenic artery aneurysm into the large bowel. This case presented with comparable features reported in the literature and demonstrates that access to emergency specialist surgical services in a regional setting offers the capability to manage rare, life threatening surgical emergencies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Celiac artery aneurysm is very rare visceral artery aneurysm. Symptomatic and ≥ 2.5 cm sized aneurysm requires treatment. Excision and revascularization is the most commonly employed procedure. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of ligation and excision of celiac artery aneurysm extending onto the splenic and hepatic arteries without vascular reconstruction. The patient was a 52 year old lady who was evaluated for abdominal pain and was found to have a celiac artery aneurysm involving the hepatic and splenic arteries. She was evaluated with computerized tomography and digital subtraction angiography of the abdominal vessels. These confirmed good natural collaterals from the branches of superior mesenteric artery supplying the liver, stomach and spleen. We performed ligation and excision of the aneurysm and ligation and division of hepatic, splenic and left gastric arteries as the aneurysm was extending on to these vessels, without any vascular reconstruction, utilizing the natural collaterals from the superior mesenteric artery. DISCUSSION Ligation of celiac artery aneurysm without revascularization is often done in emergency situations. Excision and revascularization is the treatment of choice to ensure adequate blood supply to liver, spleen and stomach. We could utilize the natural collateral circulation of celiac artery from superior mesenteric artery avoiding a complex procedure of revascularization. CONCLUSION We present this because of the rarity of the disease as well as rarity of the technique of not performing vascular reconstruction. We emphasize on the pre-operative and operative evaluation of collateral circulation with conventional angiography and intraoperative Doppler respectively.
