Invited commentary

The authors report their experience with the treatment of complex splenic artery aneurysms complete with a new classification scheme: type I, rupture or impending rupture; type II, at the origin of the splenic artery; and type III, aberrant splenic artery originating from the splenomesenteric or celiacomesenteric trunk. They used a variety of techniques, including combinations of occluding the inflow artery, the inflow collaterals, the aneurysm itself, and the outflow artery using either embolic coils or a covered stent.
