A retrospective review was performed for consecutive patients (from 2019 to 2021) who underwent salvage surgeries following failed endovascular therapies for splanchnic artery aneurysms in a tertiary referral center. Salvage operations include total aneurysmectomy with vascular reconstruction and partial aneurysmectomy with directly closing bleeders from the intraluminal space of the aneurysms.
Salvage surgery for splanchnic artery aneurysm after failed endovascular trials includes one of the following three strategies: (1) aneurysmectomy along with the involved organ if the aneurysm is located within the parenchyma of solid organs (2) aneurysmectomy with vascular reconstruction if the aneurysm outside the solid organ (3)partial aneurysmectomy with direct closing the feeding vessel orifice if the aneurysm occurs in the hostile abdomen.

Survival outcomes after surgical intervention
Survival outcomes (i.e., overall survival and symptoms-free survival in months) after salvage surgery for the splanchnic aneurysms were collected based on chart reviewing and telephone calls.
Time frame: From surgical intervention to the latest follow-up date (i.e., 2023-Jan-20)
