Overview of the Management of Visceral Aneurysms

Abstract

In this article, we briefly describe the etiology, indications for treatment, and treatment methods for visceral aneurysms. Visceral arteries include the celiac artery, superior mesenteric artery, renal artery, inferior mesenteric artery and their branches. Although evidence has been lacking for this relatively rare disease, it is often encountered in daily clinical practice, as with recent advances in diagnostic imaging modality. Moreover, guidelines have been recently proposed from overseas, and we vascular surgeons need to deepen our understanding of this disease.
