Salvage Surgeries for Splanchnic Artery Aneurysms After Failed Endovascular Therapies: Cases Series

Salvage Surgeries for Splanchnic Artery Aneurysms After Failed Endovascular Therapies: Cases Series

A retrospective review was performed for consecutive patients (from 2019 to 2021) who underwent salvage surgeries following failed endovascular therapies for splanchnic artery aneurysms in a tertiary referral center. Salvage operations include total aneurysmectomy with vascular reconstruction and partial aneurysmectomy with directly closing bleeders from the intraluminal space of the aneurysms.

Salvage surgery for splanchnic artery aneurysm after failed endovascular trials includes one of the following three strategies: (1) aneurysmectomy along with the involved organ if the aneurysm is located within the parenchyma of solid organs (2) aneurysmectomy with vascular reconstruction if the aneurysm outside the solid organ (3)partial aneurysmectomy with direct closing the feeding vessel orifice if the aneurysm occurs in the hostile abdomen.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients underwent salvage surgeries following failed endovascular therapies for splanchnic artery aneurysms
• The aneurysms were diagnosed based on medical history and computed tomography (CT)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients only underwent endovascular therapies for artery aneurysms
• The aneurysms are not located at the splanchnic artery
