Aneurysm of the Anomalous Splenic Artery Arising from Superior Mesenteric Artery Treated by Coil Embolization: A Report of Two Cases and Literature Review

Spontaneous Retroperitoneal Hemorrhage Secondary to Chronic Celiac Axis Compression Treated with Embolization Utilizing Cone Beam CT

“…However, rapid advances in interventional radiology have enabled the safe and effective treatment of visceral aneurysms and acute hemorrhage via transcatheter arterial embolization [14]. This has been supported by a recent study that concluded that coil embolization could be cost-effective and minimally invasive in certain cases, depending on the morphology and anatomy of the lesion [15].…”

Open surgery for aneurysms of the splenic artery at the hilum of the spleen: Report of three cases

“…Rarely aneurysms may arise from a splenic artery with an aberrant origin from the superior mesenteric artery [ 8 , 10 , 11 , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] ]. In this setting also coil embolization has been successfully applied [ 3 , 11 ]. However, dislodgement or misplacement of coils in the superior mesenteric artery, with consequent bowel ischemia may occur, especially when aneurysmal neck is very short [ 8 ], and recanalization or incomplete thrombosis of the aneurysm due to the high flow in the superior mesenteric artery is possible [ 10 ].…”

“…Indications for treatment of splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) have remained fairly stable in the time, including ruptured aneurysms, pseudoaneurysms or septic aneurysms, asymptomatic aneurysms in women of childbearing age and asymptomatic aneurysms of diameter > = 2 cm [ 1 ]. Methods of treatment, on the other hand have evolved, including now, beside open surgery, endovascular and laparoscopic treatment [ [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] ]. In particular, endovascular treatment is becoming more and more popular, thus progressively reducing indications for open repair.…”

Possibility of Radiological Diagnostics of Splenic Artery Pseudoaneurysm-a Case Report and Review of Literature

“…Visceral artery aneurysms are a rare but potentially life-threatening form of vascular disease and represent 0.1-0.2% of all aneurysms (1). Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) are the most common visceral aneurysms with a rate of about 60% (2). Also, splenic artery is the third most common loca-tion of intraabdominal aneurysms, after aneurysms of the abdominal aorta and the iliac arteries, with prevalence from 0.2% to 10.4% (3).…”
