ABSTRACT
A 31-year-old man with a history of multiple strokes of unknown etiology presented with multiple asymptomatic visceral artery aneurysms including a 3.3-cm bilobed splenic artery aneurysm and a 3.1-cm fusiform superior mesenteric artery aneurysm. He had no family history of aneurysms, and there was no evidence of collagen disease. He underwent open splenic artery aneurysm resection without splenectomy and had an uneventful recovery. Seven months later, he had open repair of his 14.6-cm-long fusiform superior mesenteric artery aneurysm with a 15-cm-long collagen-coated polyester interposition graft with multiple visceral branch reimplantations into the graft. The postoperative course was uneventful, and computed tomography confirmed patent graft and side branches. Two years later, the patient remained free of abdominal symptoms, although he suffered another episode of a mild stroke.
