Abstract
Purpose: To review a 10-year experience with endovascular embolization of visceral artery aneurysms. Methods: Twenty-five patients (13 men; mean age 52.1 years, range 31–80) presented with VAAs of varying locations and etiologies: 10 splenic, 3 gastroduodenal, 2 pancreaticoduodenal, 3 hepatic, 3 superior mesenteric, 2 celiac, 1 left gastric, and 1 jejunoileal. Ten patients were asymptomatic; 7 aneurysms were ruptured. Transcatheter coil embolization was the treatment of choice in all patients. Results: Coil placement was initially (Conclusions: Embolotherapy is the treatment of choice in visceral artery aneurysms, regardless of etiology, location, or clinical presentation.Keywords
