Visceral Vascular Disease
Occlusive disease and aneurysms can affect the arteries supplying the liver, stomach, spleen and intestine. Chronic and acute mesenteric ischemia – an under-recognized and significant cause of abdominal pain, weight loss and death – requires experienced clinicians and advanced diagnostic technologies to make an accurate diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment.
Experts at our Heart and Vascular Center offer all treatment modalities (non-interventional, minimally-invasive, endovascular, open surgical) and tailor the particular treatment to the particular patient. Visceral artery aneurysms are an uncommon but well-recognized cause of intra-abdominal hemorrhage and death. Accurate diagnosis is essential and choosing the appropriate intervention (endovascular or open) will result in the safest, most effective and most durable outcome.
