Splenic Artery Aneurysm

There are few words in medicine that people fear more than the word "aneurysm". When some people hear that they have an aneurysm, they worry that it may burst. But not all aneurysms are the same.
A splenic artery aneurysm is an aneurysm in the artery feeding the spleen. These are relatively common. Most do not require a procedure. But some do. Knowing when to intervene is not always straightforward. While there are formal criteria, there are many nuances.
One thing I am not saying in the video - Anyone with a splenic artery aneurysm needs to pay specific attention to blood pressure and cholesterol treatment.
