Visceral artery pseudoaneurysms occur mostly as a result of inflammation and trauma. Owing to high risk of rupture, they require early treatment to prevent lethal complications. Knowledge of the various approaches of embolization of pseudoaneurysms and different embolic materials used in the management of visceral artery pseudoaneurysms is essential for successful and safe embolization. We review and illustrate the endovascular, percutaneous and endoscopic ultrasound techniques used in the treatment of visceral artery pseudoaneurysm and briefly discuss the embolic materials and their benefits and risks.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to conduct a real-world comparison of visceral stent branch related outcomes and patient survival in physician modified endografts (PMEG) versus factory made fenestrated endografts (FMFE).
Methods: After exclusions, 544 PMEG and 1638 FMFE were identified in the Vascular Quality Initiative between 2014 and 2022. The four primary outcomes analyzed with Kaplan Meier (KM) were freedom from mortality, new onset dialysis, visceral ischemia, and visceral stent graft reintervention in follow up.

Interoception - the sense of the body - includes the perception of visceral signals and its integration with many other information in the central nervous system. Hypnotizability levels are associated with interoceptive accuracy and sensitivity, likely due to different insula gray matter volume, and different availability of vascular nitric oxide during sensory and cognitive tasks in peripheral arteries and in the brain. This theoretical review deals with the relevance of possible hypnotizability-related nitric oxide availability at various levels of the central nervous system to interoception and, consequently, to physiological and pathological conditions, such as emotion, sleep disturbance, eating behavior, and cardiovascular illness.

Background: Visceral malperfusion is a serious complication of acute aortic dissection. Currently, diagnosis relies on signs of end-organ failure, which may be clinically obscure and delay crucial treatment.
Objective: The aim was to investigate external iliac (IA) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) pressures in cases where both vessels originate exclusively from the true lumen to develop and validate a novel early indicator of visceral malperfusion.
Pseudoaneurysms, or false aneurysms, result from an arterial wall tear and can arise from trauma, infection, or inflammation. Common types include aortic, cardiac, and femoral pseudoaneurysms, while left gastric artery pseudoaneurysms (LGAP) are rare visceral occurrences, with only a handful of documented cases. LGAPs are often associated with recurrent pancreatitis and require prompt recognition and treatment due to their high risk of rapid bleeding and fatal outcomes if left untreated.

Background: Epicardial adipose tissue represents a metabolically active visceral fat depot that is in direct contact with the left ventricular myocardium. While it is associated with coronary artery disease, little is known regarding its role in aortic stenosis. We sought to investigate the association of epicardial adipose tissue with aortic stenosis severity and progression, myocardial remodelling and function, and mortality in asymptomatic patients with aortic stenosis.
