Key Points
Key Points
- These evidence-based practice guidelines offer recommendations to inform the diagnosis, treatment options, screening, and follow up of visceral aneurysms. The ultimate treatment goal should be to prevent aneurysm expansion and potential rupture by exclusion from the arterial circulation while maintaining necessary distal or collateral bed perfusion.
