Visceral Artery Disease

Definition

Visceral artery disease is a condition characterized by the narrowing or blockage of the visceral arteries, which supply blood to the vital organs such as the kidneys, liver, spleen, and intestines. This can result from various causes, including atherosclerosis, embolism, or vasculitis, and may lead to organ damage or failure if left untreated.
