Visceral Artery Aneurysms: Evaluation Using 3D Contrast-Enhanced MR Angiography

¹ All authors: Department of Radiology, Changhai Hospital, Second Military Medical University, 174 Changhai Rd., Shanghai, Shanghai 200433, China.

OBJECTIVE. Visceral artery aneurysms are uncommon, but they are clinically important because of the high incidence of rupture and life-threatening hemorrhage. Visceral artery aneurysms in patients with vascular anatomic variations are extremely rare, but detecting these variations is significant in this setting to determine the best treatment strategy; therefore, a thorough assessment of the aneurysm and of the vascular anatomy before treatment is paramount.

CONCLUSION. Three-dimensional contrast-enhanced MR angiography is a noninvasive technique for the diagnosis and display of visceral artery aneurysms. It can provide 3D anatomic information that is needed for surgery or embolization.
