Vascular surgery·2005

Giant splenic artery aneurysms, exceeding 8 cm, are rare vascular conditions. This study details two such cases, discussing their management and surgical approaches for these uncommon findings.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Splenic artery aneurysms (SAAs) are uncommon vascular lesions.
  • Typical SAAs measure around 2.1 cm, rarely exceeding 3 cm.
  • Giant SAAs (>3 cm) are exceptionally rare, posing unique clinical challenges.

Observation:

  • Two cases of giant splenic artery aneurysms, both exceeding 8 cm in diameter, are presented.
  • These large aneurysms presented unique diagnostic and management considerations.
  • The clinical presentation and imaging findings of these giant SAAs are detailed.

Findings:

  • The study discusses the management strategies for these exceptionally large SAAs.
  • Operative approaches for giant SAAs are reviewed, highlighting specific techniques.

  • Literature on the surgical treatment of giant splenic artery aneurysms is briefly reviewed.

    • Implications:

    • This case series expands understanding of giant SAA presentation and management.
    • It provides valuable insights for surgeons managing rare and large vascular abnormalities.
    • The findings contribute to the literature on surgical decision-making for complex splenic artery aneurysms.
