"Follow-up recommendations some types of visceral artery aneurysms is not established. Patients with pancreaticoduodenal aneurysms (e.g. post-Whipple procedure patients) are thought to be at higher risk of rupture than other visceral artery aneurysms. If the aneurysm is thought to be a pseudoaneurysm, it would probably be prudent to have a shorter follow-up interval."

Line 30:140 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-'.

"The word aneurysm also traces its roots back to ancient Greek, specifically the word ἀνεύρυσμα (aneurysma), literally translating as an 'aperture'. It is itself a compound construction, derived from two roots, 'ἄνω-' (ano) meaning 'up' and 'εὐρύς-' (eurys), meaning 'wide' ^7,9."

Line 34:89 · Italics should be used only in exceptional circumstances: 'ἀνεύρυσμα (aneurysma), literally translating as an 'aperture'. It is itself a compound construction, derived from two roots, 'ἄνω-' (ano) meaning 'up' and 'εὐρύς-''

"Visceral artery aneurysms are usually degenerative and related to a deficiency of the arterial media with loss of elastic fibres and reduced smooth muscle. Other possible causes are atherosclerosis, fibromuscular dysplasia, collagen disorders, trauma, inflammation, infection, or vasculitis ¹. Pancreatitis may promote the destruction of the arterial wall resulting in pseudoaneurysms of related visceral arteries. Segmental arterial mediolysis is also an increasingly recognised cause."
