[Aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery in the context of a multianeurismatic disease. Case report].
Aneurysms of the superior mesenteric artery are one of the most uncommon visceral artery aneurysms. Despite its rarity they course with high risks of rupture and many constitute a permanent threat to patients's life. The authors report the clinical condition of a male patient, with a large aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery, diagnosed through the image techniques made during the follow-up of a previously operated aorto-iliac and bilateral popliteal aneurysms. Its clinical presentation and the surgical management are subjected to presentation and discussion.
