Traitement des anévrismes du tronc cœliaque : expérience personnelle et revue de la littérature

Considering the largely unforeseeable outcome and the high risk of rupture, we suggest that all the patients presenting this type of aneurysmal lesion should be treated. This attitude is widely advocated in the literature. Moreover, we noted null mortality in our small series, with only one percutaneous “re-do” case; resolutive at last control. With the present improvement in stent technology, endovascular treatment should be preferred. Patients should be treated surgically only if a percutaneous procedure would be risky or technically unfeasible due to the size of the aneurysm or its anatomic features. (J Mal Vasc 2006; 31: 72-75).
