  • Title: Surgical repair of an aberrant splenic artery aneurysm: report of a case.
    Author: Illuminati G, LaMuraglia G, Nigri G, Vietri F.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2007 Mar; 21(2):216-8. PubMed ID: 17349366.
    Abstract:
    Aneurysms of the splenic artery are the most common splanchnic aneurysms. Aneurysms of a splenic artery with an anomalous origin from the superior mesenteric artery are however rare, with eight previously reported cases. Their indications for treatment are superposable to those of aneurysms affecting an orthotopic artery. Methods of treatment of this condition include endovascular, minimally invasive techniques and surgical resection. We report one more case of aneurysm of an aberrant splenic artery, treated with surgical resection, and preservation of the spleen.
