“…The weak points of the endovascular treatment are the primary success rate, reported between 75% and 98%, 15-18 the possible refilling of the aneurysm at some time after the procedure and the post embolization syndrome. 18 Both anatomy and morphology of the aneurysm can determine the technical success of endovascular treatment. A long and tortuous splenic artery with a distal aneurysm or a wide neck of the aneurysm has a reduced potential success rate.…”

“…In this situation, reported in two patients in our series, a laparoscopic splenectomy shall prevent subsequent splenic infarction, and the possible evolution of this into a splenic abscess that in turn demands additional percutaneous treatment or surgery. 18,20 For a successful laparoscopic treatment of splenic artery aneurysms, it is essential to be proficient in advanced laparoscopy, since the dissection of the aneurysm can be very difficult and risky. Most of the dissection of the aneurysm was accomplished with the use of a laparoscopic monopolar hook.…”

“…5 Splenic artery occlusion can lead to postembolisation syndrome and infarction in up to 30%. 12 However, significant complications of embolisation, such as enterocutaneous fistula seen here, are rare.…”

“…Postembolisation syndrome and infarction can occur in up to 30% of splenic artery pseudoaneurysm or aneurysm exclusions, 33 although clinically significant infarction of the spleen, or other organs, is rare. Other complications of endovascular coiling include catheterisation failure, 34 arterial dissection occasionally requiring angioplasty to prevent propagation and maintain vessel patency 35 and initiation of acute episodes of pancreatitis.…”
