ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

This study assesses the efficacy and safety of self-expandable (SE) versus balloon-expandable (BE) stent grafts for managing visceral artery aneurysms (VAAs), focusing on procedural success and complication rates. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

We conducted a retrospective analysis of VAA patients treated at our institution from April 2006 to September 2021. The study reviewed patient demographics, aneurysm characteristics, treatment details, and outcomes, including endoleaks.

RESULTS:

Among the 23 patients analyzed, splenic artery aneurysms represented 44% of cases. Fifteen patients were treated with balloon-expandable stent grafts (BE SGs), and eight patients were treated with self-expandable stent grafts (SE SGs). For saccular aneurysms, the average neck size was 10.10 ± 8.70 mm in the BE group versus 18.50 ± 3.40 mm in the SE group (p = 0.23), with an average sac size of 20.10 ± 18.9 mm in the BE group versus 15.60 ± 12.7 mm in the SE group (p = 0.16). The average sac-to-neck ratio was 1.69 ± 2.23 in the BE group versus 1.38 ± 0.33 in the SE group (p = 0.63). The BE group exhibited a significantly higher endoleak rate (60%) compared to the SE group (12.5%; p = 0.03).

CONCLUSIONS:

While further investigation is needed to fully assess the outcomes of stent graft treatment for VAAs, initial data show a significantly higher endoleak rate with BE SGs compared to SE SGs. The SE SGs may offer better outcomes due to their superior ability to conform to tortuous and mobile visceral arteries.
