Resumen

MOREIRA, Mário et al. Coil embolisation of ruptured left gastric artery aneurysm. Angiol Cir Vasc [online]. 2019, vol.15, n.4, pp.262-264. ISSN 1646-706X.

Visceral artery aneurysms are rare, with an estimated incidence of less than 2% in the general population. Left gastric artery aneurysm are particularly uncommon, accounting for 4% of all visceral aneurysms. Usually an incidental finding, they can manifest with rupture and be life threatening. The authors present a case of an 83 year-old male with haemorrhagic shock caused by a ruptured left gastric artery aneurysm. Coil embolization of afferent and efferent arteries was performed with good morphologic results. Management of a ruptured visceral aneurysm is aimed at controlling life-threatening bleeding usually by embolisation in the emergency setting.

Palabras clave : Left gastric artery; Aneurysm; Rupture.
