Abstract:
We report herein the successful laparoscopic resection of an asymptomatic 3-cm middle colic artery aneurysm in a young woman. Endovascular treatment represents nowadays the first-line option facing visceral artery aneurysm, but in this case, embolization was excluded because of hostile anatomy. Advantages of laparoscopic approach were the safe resection of the aneurysm with immediate evaluation of the bowel tolerance and the possibility of a histological examination of the arterial wall, without the disadvantages of laparotomy.
