Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg 2017; 53:460–510.	2017	SMA aneurysms	Asymptomatic aneurysms less than 25mm can be observed (except women of child-bearing age, recipients of abdominal organ transplant, or aneurysms of pancreaticoduodenal and gastroduodenal arcades or hepatic artery) If intervention is indicated, open, laparoscopic, or endovascular repairs can be considered. No modalities are proven to be superior than others Open or laparoscopic repair: resection and end to end anastomosis, re-implantation, graft interposition, or simple ligation Endovascular repair: implantation of a covered or flow diverting stents, embolisation with coils or glue, percutaneous thrombin injection
