Visceral arterial aneurysms are a rare vascular pathology, which lacks specific clinical signs. Imaging modalities play a key role in their diagnosis. Today radiological endovascular interventions appear to be the method of choice for the management of most patients with azygous visceral arterial aneurysms. Various endovascular methods are used for circulatory exclusion of aneurysms, depending on particular anatomy and topology. The paper describes radiological endovascular management of 23 patients with aneurysms of abdominal aorta azygous visceral branches in the A.V. Vishnevsky Institute of Surgery for the period from 1995 to 2007.

KEY WORDS: azygous visceral arterial aneurysms, embolization, endoprostheses, occluding spiral, stent-graft.
