Endoaneurysmorrhaphy for visceral artery aneurysms.
American Journal of Surgery
|May 1, 1977
Summary
Mycotic aneurysms of the hepatic and superior mesenteric arteries were successfully treated using endoaneurysmorrhaphy. This surgical technique preserves vital blood flow to abdominal organs.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Infectious Disease
Background:
- Mycotic aneurysms are rare but serious infections of arteries.
- Hepatic and superior mesenteric artery involvement presents unique surgical challenges.
Observation:
- Two cases of mycotic aneurysms in these specific arteries are presented.
- Clinical features and surgical management are detailed.
Findings:
- Successful treatment using endoaneurysmorrhaphy was achieved in both patients.
- This technique effectively managed the mycotic aneurysms.
Implications:
- Endoaneurysmorrhaphy offers a method to preserve visceral blood flow during aneurysm repair.
- This approach may be a valuable option for managing complex arterial mycotic aneurysms.
