    Journal Article

    Eight patients of a mean age of 56.4 years, have been operated on for 9 digestive arteries aneurysms in a 7-years-period. Sites of aneurysmal disease included 3 splenic, 3 superior mesenteric, 2 hepatic, and 1 left gastric arteries. Five patients (62.5%) were asymptomatic, while 3 (37.5%) presented with symptoms. Three patients (37.5%) presented associated aortic lesions consisting in 2 infrarenal aneurysms and 1 aorto-iliac stenosis. Of the 9 arteries treated, 5 were revascularized. Restaurative operations included 1 reconstructive endoaneurysmorraphy, 3 retrograde by-pass grafts (2 Dacron and 1 PTFE), and 1 antegrade by-pass graft (Dacron) from the coeliac aorta. There were no post-operative deaths. Mean length of follow-up was 47.8 months. No patient presented with late intestinal or operation related problems.
