Principles used in the management

Aneurysms of the visceral arteries were rarely encountered before the development of modern imaging; most presented with rupture. Now, however, visceral artery aneurysms are detected with increasing frequency, particularly in asymptomatic individuals, because of the widespread availability of high-quality cross-sectional imaging. Rupture of these aneurysms is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Percutaneous techniques are effective and safe methods for aneurysm exclusion.
