[Digestive hemorrhage and hemoperitoneum as complications of visceral aneurysms]
Revista Espanola De Enfermedades Digestivas
|August 1, 1995
Abstract:
Two cases of visceral aneurysm are reported, one of the splenic artery and another of the gastroepiploic artery. The reason for the publication is the rarity, especially of aneurysms of the gastroepiploic artery, and because of the unusual presentations as upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage and hemoperitoneum respectively. The splenic artery aneurysm was diagnosed by CAT scan and the gastroepiploic one during emergency laparotomy because of the hemodynamic disturbance.
