RESUMO
Superior mesenteric artery aneurysms are rare; however, current guidelines suggest they all require repair due to the high rupture and mortality rates, and endovascular repair is an effective management strategy. Iodinated contrast traditionally used in endovascular repair can cause significant complications, including severe allergic reactions and contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with chronic renal disease. Therefore, other imaging methods should be used during endovascular procedures to reduce these risks. We describe a unique and innovative approach using carbon dioxide angiography and intravascular ultrasound during fenestrated endovascular repair of an uncommon superior mesenteric artery aneurysm in a patient with severe contrast allergies.
