Laparoscopic Splenectomy for Splenic Artery Aneurysms Associated With Infective Endocarditis: A Case Report

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Splenic artery aneurysms (SAAs) are a relatively uncommon but potentially life-threatening disease. In recent years, although there have been an increasing number of reports of interventional radiology (IVR) treatment for SAAs, there are still many cases in which surgical intervention is required. In particular, SAAs associated with infective endocarditis (SAAs-IE) are rare, and the treatment strategies and perspectives for SAAs-IE remain controversial. Herein, we report a successful case of laparoscopic splenectomy for SAAs-IE with a literature review.
