Review article on endovascular management of saccular aneurysm of the aberrant splenic artery: A rare entity

The aberrant splenic artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery is a rare anomaly, and patients presenting with an aneurysm of the aberrant splenic artery are extremely rare. The rupture of such aneurysms (>2 cm) is a catastrophic event. We have conducted extensive research on electronic media through the MEDLINE database on the management of saccular aneurysm of the aberrant splenic artery. We could find only 38 cases reported in the English literature since 1966–2020. We report one such case which was managed successfully through endovascular management after proper preoperative planning and intraoperative execution leading to a successful outcome.
