Objective:
Visceral artery aneurysms are a rare but dangerous vascular pathology. The branches of the coeliac trunc are most frequently affected, especially the splenic artery. A visceral aneurysm is usually diagnosed only when a bleeding complication occurs due to rupture. It is therefore recommended to treat this pathology at an early stage after diagnosis. Endovascular elimination is the preferred procedure. However, if endovascular elimination is not suitable, the visceral aneurysm can be successfully treated by minimally invasive surgery.
Indications:
Splenic artery aneurysms are located at the splenic hilum, and are therefore considered to be at high risk of splenic ischemia and secondary complications following endovascular coiling.
Procedure:
Laparoscopic treatment of splenic artery aneurysm.
Conclusion:
In the case of complex vascular pathologies unsuitable for an endovascular approach, laparoscopic treatment of splenic artery aneurysm is a safe and effective minimally invasive option and alternative.
