Abstract
Surgical procedures on various artery aneurysms are difficult to perform and require careful preparation. We have developed and now present in this paper a software platform, CardioCTNav, that can help in planning such procedures. The planning consists of a 3D rendering of the area of interest, virtual angiography, automated measurements, and virtual stent simulation.
Highlights
A mesenteric artery aneurysm is an aneurysm that occurs in either the inferior or superior mesenteric arteries that irrigate visceral organs like the stomach
We propose a preoperative planning protocol, which consists of four steps, namely, high-quality 3D rendering, virtual navigation through the arteries, automatic and semi-automatic measurements, and 3D stent simulations
A pseudoaneurysm is usually caused by vessel injury; this is the collection of blood between one or two layers and the adjacent parenchyma
Summary
A mesenteric artery aneurysm is an aneurysm that occurs in either the inferior or superior mesenteric arteries that irrigate visceral organs like the stomach. Superior mesenteric artery aneurysms are the third most common true visceral aneurysms, often affecting the proximal 5 cm of the artery [2] and accounting for 14% of all visceral aneurysms [3]. They occur predominantly in men who are in the 5th decade of life. In about 25% of cases, visceral aneurysms present as surgical emergencies [1], the disease is often asymptomatic They are an incidental finding in almost half of the patients [5]. Around 22% of patients with visceral aneurysms are diagnosed after rupture
