Hello there,
Splenic artery aneurysms treatment is varied and highly individualised.The only concern about splenic artery aneurysm is whether it will rupture or not. These aneurysms can be repaired through endovascular techniques. The treatment depends entirely on the appearance, shape and amount of calcification. It is best to consult an experienced vascular surgeon and seek opinion about its correct management. Do keep me posted.
Best wishes and regards!
