Popis: Objectives The aim is to present the technique of successful management of a superior mesenteric artery (SMA) dissecting aneurysm by a purely endovascular approach. Methods This was a single centre case report. Results Isolated spontaneous SMA dissecting aneurysm is rare, and previously was usually treated by an open or hybrid approach. This is a single centre case report of the successful management of a SMA dissecting aneurysm by a purely endovascular approach. Conclusions A pure endovascular approach is feasible and effective in the management of isolated SMA dissecting aneurysm, which is a rare but life threatening condition.
Highlights • Isolated spontaneous superior mesenteric artery (SMA) dissecting aneurysm is rare. • SMA dissecting aneurysm is life-threatening. • SMA dissecting aneurysm was previously usually treated by open or hybrid approach. • Management of SMA dissecting aneurysm with pure endovascular approach is effective.
