Operative management of an incidental portal vein aneurysm in the setting of an incarcerated congenital diaphragmatic hernia

Portal vein aneurysms are rare pathologic entities. A 3.7-cm portal vein aneurysm was incidentally discovered in an 80-year-old male patient on imaging for acute abdominal pain secondary to an incarcerated diaphragmatic hernia. The aneurysm was resected, and primary repair of the portal vein was per...

A 3.7-cm portal vein aneurysm was incidentally discovered in an 80-year-old male patient on imaging for acute abdominal pain secondary to an incarcerated diaphragmatic hernia. The aneurysm was resected, and primary repair of the portal vein was performed during a second-look operation after repair of the incarcerated hernia. Operative intervention was chosen for this patient because of the aneurysm's size and the additional indication for abdominal exploration.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2468428720301842AneurysmEndovascular repairPortal vein aneurysmVenous aneurysm
