Aneurysms — Other Sites
Splenic, Hepatic, Renal & Other Visceral Artery Aneurysms
Minimally invasive treatment of aneurysms in the organ arteries.
What it is
Aneurysms of the arteries to the spleen, liver, kidneys, and intestines can rupture if untreated. They are typically treated with minimally invasive coiling or covered stents, with open repair reserved for complex cases.
When it’s recommended
- Visceral artery aneurysm above size threshold or symptomatic
- Aneurysm in a pregnant patient or one planning pregnancy (splenic)
- Anatomy suited to an endovascular approach
How it’s performed
Every plan is individualized and reviewed by our multidisciplinary aortic team.
CT/angiographic mapping of the aneurysm and branches
Coiling or a covered stent excludes the aneurysm
Organ blood flow is preserved where possible
Imaging confirms the result
Recovery & follow-up
Endovascular treatment usually means a short stay and quick recovery, with follow-up imaging.
