New scope technique could tame hidden belly aneurysms without major surgery
NCT ID NCT07490678
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a new, less invasive way to treat aneurysms in the arteries that supply the stomach, liver, and spleen. Instead of traditional surgery or X-ray-guided procedures, doctors will use an endoscope with ultrasound to guide tiny coils and glue directly into the aneurysm. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and works well for 30 adults aged 18-60.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients aged 18-60 years diagnosed with VAA by CT, MRI, or EUS. 2. VAA presenting with any symptoms such as abdominal pain or compression; any asymptomatic VAA located in gastric, gastroepiploic, pancreaticoduodenal, gastroduodenal, mesenteric, or colonic arteries; asymptomatic splenic, renal, hepatic, celiac, jejunal, or ileal artery aneurysms with a diameter \>2 cm; any asymptomatic VAA with an annual maximum diameter increase \>0.5 cm/year; or female patients of childbearing age with VAA. 3. Patients who are allergic to iodinated contrast or are pregnant, and thus are unsuitable for endovascular intervention. 4. VAA that is accessible and identifiable by EUS Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with unstable vital signs or those accompanied by major organ dysfunction, severe coagulation disorders (INR \>1.5), active infection, or cardiopulmonary insufficiency, rendering them unable to tolerate endoscopic examination. 2. Patients with uncorrectable coagulation disorders (PT-INR \<1.5 and/or fibrinogen \<120 mg/dL) or uncorrectable thrombocytopenia (platelet count \<20 × 10⁹/L). 3. Patients with a known allergy to intravenous anesthetic agents. 4. Patients who have previously undergone surgical, interventional, or EUS-guided treatment for VAA. 5. Patients unable to provide informed consent.
