Abstract:
Visceral aneurysms, although rare, are potentially life threatening, especially when presented as aneurysm rupture, in which case the mortality rate can rise up to 30-70%. The diagnose of this type of aneurysms has increased in asymptomatic patients due to overspread of radiologic tests. For a long time, the treatment of this type of aneurysm has been the open surgery, nevertheless in recent years the endovascular techniques have risen as an alternative. The two cases described here are two 48 and 71 years-old males, incidentally diagnosed of a celiac artery aneurysm of 15mm and 38mm, respectively, both treated with endovascular techniques. The endovascular treatment has shown to be a safe and effective alternative with less short-term morbi-mortality, than open surgery.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...
