Insights

Stent occlusion offers a safe and effective treatment for celiac arterial aneurysm (CAA). This method successfully achieved aneurysm obliteration and maintained artery patency in all patients, with no complications observed.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Celiac arterial aneurysm (CAA) is a rare condition requiring effective treatment.
  • Stent occlusion presents a potential therapeutic option for CAA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with celiac arterial aneurysm (CAA) treated with stent occlusion.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of stent occlusion for CAA.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 8 consecutive CAA patients treated with stent occlusion between March 2014 and September 2018.
  • Placement of 8 stents (2 uncovered, 6 covered) in the celiac artery and/or common hepatic artery.
  • Follow-up computed tomography (CT) at regular intervals (1, 3, 6, 12 months, then annually) to assess outcomes.

Main Results:

  • 100% technical success rate with stent and distal artery patency.
  • Complete obliteration of celiac arterial aneurysms (CAA) in all patients.
  • No procedure-associated complications or visceral necrosis during a median follow-up of 39 months.

Conclusions:

  • Stent occlusion is a safe and effective treatment for celiac arterial aneurysm (CAA).
  • The procedure demonstrates high rates of aneurysm obliteration and sustained artery patency.
  • This minimally invasive approach avoids complications like visceral necrosis.

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.

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management

Esophageal varices often manifest as gastrointestinal bleeding episodes, presenting symptoms like hematemesis (vomiting of blood), hematochezia (passing fresh blood via the rectum), and melena (black, tarry stools). 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...

Aneurysm IV: Nursing Management

Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...
