As engineers, we’re often faced with the challenge of balancing performance with cost. It’s easy to fall into the trap of relying on out-of-the-box solutions that seem convenient at first but become financial burdens over time.

Wear should be considered during the design phase of a dilute phase pneumatic conveying system but is often overlooked since a component designed for long wear life may not always be the most efficient or may bear a higher up-front cost. All components should be selected based on a geometry that provides the necessary efficiency, wear, and product handling characteristics.

Median arcuate ligament compression (MALC) related visceral artery aneurysms (VAA) are significant due to their high risk of rupture. There remains a paucity of data regarding this entity. We present a 22-year single-center experience in the treatment of MALC-related VAA. A retrospective review of patients from 1999-2021 whom presented with MALC-related VAA was performed. A total of 21 patients (12 males) and 39 VAAs associated with MALC were encountered (mean age: 59-years).
