Patients with visceral artery aneurysms are rare, and the reported incidence of left gastric aneurysm (LGA) is only 4%. At present, although there is little knowledge about such disease, it is generally believed that appropriate treatment should be planned to prevent some dangerous aneurysms from rupturing. We introduced a case of 83-year-old patient with LGA who underwent endovascular aneurysm repair. The 6-month follow-up computed tomography angiography showed complete thrombosis in the aneurysm lumen. In addition, to insight the management strategy on LGAs deeply, a literature review concerning this entity published in recent 35 years was performed.
Keywords: left gastric aneurysm; percutaneous transcatheter arterial embolization; thoracic aortic aneurysm; thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair; visceral artery aneurysm.
