Abstract:
A 56-year-old female presented with a symptomatic giant fusiform mid-splenic artery aneurysm (7.3 x 6.4 cm). The patient underwent hybrid management of the aneurysm with endovascular embolization of the aneurysm and inflow splenic artery followed by laparoscopic splenectomy with control and division of the outflow vessels. The patient had an uneventful post-operative course. This case demonstrates the safety and efficacy of an innovative, hybrid management of a giant splenic artery aneurysm with endovascular embolization and laparoscopic splenectomy that spares the pancreatic tail.
