Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Although rare, visceral aneurysms represent a major challenge in vascular surgery, due to the associated morbidity/mortality and the difficult therapeutic choices. The most debated issues about the management of visceral artery aneurysms regard the indications and the optimal kind of treatment.

The guidelines followed in Europe and the US currently disagree on many aspects of this matter: on the one hand, the traditional view sees visceral aneurysms as a single entity and bases the indication to surgery mainly on their size and the patient’s condition; on the other hand, the most recent SVS Guidelines (2020) started differentiating the aneurysms according to their location and the specific rupture risk of each visceral vessel.

The development of endovascular devices and the introduction of innovative and less invasive techniques (flow diverters, coils/microcoils or glue embolization, and robotic surgery) are multiplying the therapeutic possibilities, but they also require a deep knowledge of the risks and benefits of each technique and the correct selection of cases in order to achieve the best results.  

The aim of this Special Issue is to depict the state of the art of therapeutic options for visceral aneurysms, with a special focus on the most recent innovations and future perspectives in this field.

This is a new Special Issue that proceeds from the nine papers we published in the first edition. For more details, you can access it at the following link: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/74BO1MZNKY.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Background/Objectives: The possibilities of endovascular and minimally invasive treatment of visceral and renal artery aneurysms require precise procedure planning. Accurate visualization of vascular pathologies is crucial in this regard. Expanding diagnostic imaging with real 3D models is one of these methods. The objective of our study was to evaluate the utility of 3D printing and virtual 3D models in visualizing visceral and renal artery aneurysms. Methods: A group of 30 patients with true aneurysms of the visceral and renal arteries was selected based on computed tomography angiography (CTA). Aneurysm morphology, diameters, arterial diameters, and anatomical vessel variants were analyzed. Imaging data were processed and 3D-printed using Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technology. The resulting 3D models were measured, and dimensional deviations were compared to radiological images. Results: The cohort included 51 aneurysms across arteries supplying abdominal organs, with splenic artery aneurysms (49%) and renal artery aneurysms (25.5%) predominating. Half of the patient group had multiple aneurysms, and 36.7% exhibited anatomical arterial variants. Forty-three 3D models of visceral and renal artery aneurysms were generated, accurately depicting isolated vascular pathologies and the course of visceral arteries in regions of interest. Measurement analysis confirmed that the 3D-printed models showed a mean dimensional deviation of 0.24 mm compared to radiological images. Conclusions: 3D-printed and virtual models enhance the analysis of vascular pathologies, significantly improving the assessment of pathological changes and visualization of anatomical details, especially in hilar aneurysms and aneurysm branches.
