Simultaneous occurance of symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm, superior mesenteric artery aneurysm and celiac trunk aneurysm
Acta Angiologica 2008;14(3):106-110.
Abstract
Surgical treatment of visceral vessel aneurysms in the time of endovascular technique is rare. We present the
case of a 52-year-old man with simultaneous symptomatic aneurysm of the abdominal aorta in the subrenal
section, superior mesenteric artery aneurysm, and celiac trunk aneurysm. The surgical solution applied in this
case wass to carry out the technically difficult anastomoses of the superior mesenteric artery and the celiac
trunk. Probably this technical solution could also be applied in situations when it is necessary to reconstruct
both main visceral vessels damaged by extensive atherosclerotic changes if the abdominal aorta in the area
of planned surgery is in good condition.
