Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Conventional angiography is regarded as the gold standard in vascular imaging but it is invasive, and difficulty may be encountered in the evaluation of aortic occlusion disease. Superior mesenteric artery aneurysm is an uncommon disease, which can result in life-threatening haemorrhage after rupture. With the rapid development of computed tomography angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), high-quality images of the vascular system can be obtained in a non-invasive manner. We report a case of Leriche's syndrome with concomitant superior mesenteric aneurysm using contrast-enhanced 3-D CTA and MRA, with digital subtraction angiography correlation.
