Omental artery aneurysms are extremely rare. Their rupture is related to high mortality and often treated by open surgery. We describe a case of a spontaneous rupture of a left omental artery aneurysm (OAA) that was successfully treated by transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE).
A 68-year-old man presented with acute abdominal pain. On examination, he was hypotensive and tachycardic with a blood pressure of 90/50 mm Hg. He had diffuse abdominal distension and tenderness.An abdominal enhanced computed tomography scan (CT) showed a rupture of the left OAA responsible for moderate hemoperitoneum. We performed a successful TAE.
Ruptured OAA causes high mortality. OAA represents the rarest form of splanchnic artery aneurysms. Interventional radiology permits to avoid unnecessary surgery.TAE is a safe procedure to control ruptured OAA. We highlight the importance of a rapid embolization if the patient is hemodynamically stable.
网膜动脉动脉瘤极为罕见。其破裂与高死亡率相关，常需通过开放手术治疗。我们描述了一例经导管动脉栓塞术（TAE）成功治疗的左网膜动脉动脉瘤（OAA）自发性破裂病例。
一名68岁男性因急性腹痛就诊。检查发现，他血压低、心动过速，血压为90/50毫米汞柱。他有弥漫性腹胀和压痛。腹部增强计算机断层扫描（CT）显示左OAA破裂，导致中度腹腔积血。我们成功实施了TAE。
破裂的OAA导致高死亡率。OAA是内脏动脉动脉瘤最罕见的形式。介入放射学可避免不必要的手术。TAE是控制破裂OAA的安全方法。我们强调，如果患者血流动力学稳定，快速栓塞的重要性。
