One SAA was treated with covered stent implantation, nine with sac embolization, and 13 with intra-aneurysm and aneurysm-bearing artery coil embolization. The technical success rate was 100%. The clinical success rate was 91.30%, defined as persistent aneurysm exclusion and preservation of at least 50% splenic perfusion. Mild adverse events occurred in 34.78% of patients, including post-embolization syndrome (21.74%) and small splenic infarctions (13.04%). One patient experienced post-embolization pancreatitis (4.35%). Severe adverse events (8.70%) included two splenectomies due to a splenic abscess and gastric bleeding caused by coil migration. No deaths occurred during the study period.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Endovascular treatment is an effective, minimally invasive alternative to open surgery for splenic artery aneurysms, achieving high success rates and satisfactory follow-up outcomes when the appropriate method is chosen\u2014both for asymptomatic SAAs and hemodynamically stable patients with ruptured SAAs or pseudoaneurysms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00423-025-03791-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,1]],"date-time":"2025-07-01T07:33:17Z","timestamp":1751355197000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Safety and effectiveness of endovascular treatment of splenic artery aneurysms: a single centre experience"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"410","author":[{"given":"Laura","family":"Lech","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annette","family":"Thurner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dominik","family":"Peter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christoph-Thomas","family":"Germer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sven","family":"Flemming","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ralph","family":"Kickuth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"3791_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"16","DOI":"10.1186\/s42155-024-00427-9","volume":"7","author":"S Wang","year":"2024","unstructured":"Wang S, Huang W, Liu J, Liu Q, Wang Z, Wang Q, Shan Q, Li W, Ding X, Wu Z, Wang Z (2024) Selection of endovascular treatment strategies and analysis of the efficacy of different locations and types of Splenic artery aneurysms.
