[Management of visceral aneurysm].

In the article we discuss our experience in dealing with visceral aneurysms at Malmö General Hospital during the period, 1971-85. Of the total of 25 patients diagnosed, eight had ruptured aneurysms, six underwent elective surgery, and 11 underwent no surgical intervention. Of the aneurysms found, nine were of the splenic artery, five of the superior mesenteric artery and its branches, three of the pancreaticoduodenal artery, two of the celiac artery, and one of the gastroduodenal artery. There was no mortality either among patients undergoing surgery, or from complications among those treated conservatively without surgery.

Solitary aneurysms of the iliac arterial system: an estimate of their frequency of occurrence.

Solitary iliac artery aneurysms are rare, and most reports have been presented as case reports. By combining autopsy records and operating records, a total of 13 cases were found: during a 15-year period (1971 to 1985), 42,010 of the inhabitants of Malmö died (population 230,000) and 35,265 (including 9014 forensic autopsies) underwent autopsy (84%). Solitary iliac artery aneurysms were found in seven (0.03%) of the 26,251 patients who underwent autopsy at the hospital; six of those had been asymptomatic and one was ruptured. Among the 9014 persons who underwent forensic medical autopsy, there were two with ruptured solitary iliac artery aneurysms. Four patients had clinically detected solitary iliac artery aneurysms, three of which were ruptured. All patients underwent surgery, and two of the three patients with ruptured solitary iliac artery aneurysms left the hospital well. The rupture rate of iliac aneurysm among those found at autopsy was one of seven (14%) and among those clinically detected three of four.
