Aneurysms of the gastric and gastroepiploic arteries account for only about 4% of all splanchnic artery aneurysms. However, rupture is associated with a mortality of up to 70% and usually warrants urgent surgical intervention. We present an interesting case of a patient who presented with haematemasis following rupture of a left gastric artery aneurysm that was successfully treated by percutaneous thrombin injections. A review of the literature for this rare condition is also presented.

Other signs can include weight loss, anorexia, abdominal discomfort, jaundice, pruritus, altered mental status, and muscle cramps.
In the initial assessment, a thorough review of the patient's medical history is vital to identify risk factors such as liver disease, alcohol abuse, or...

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.
