Abstract

The abdominal viscera blood supply is derived from anterior branches of the abdominal aorta. Visceral artery aneurysms (VAAs) include aneurysms of the following arteries and their branches: the celiac artery, the hepatic artery, the splenic artery, the superior mesenteric artery, the inferior mesenteric artery, the pancreaticoduodenal artery, and the gastroduodenal artery. Overall VAAs comprise < 2% of all types of arterial aneurysms. Asymptomatic VAAs are now being encountered more frequently due to the widespread use of advanced diagnostic abdominal imaging. The incidental finding of a VAA frequently leaves clinicians with a dilemma as to the best course of management. The focus of this review is on current treatment options and management guidelines for both symptomatic and asymptomatic VAAs.
