A member asked:
61yrs calisfied splenic artery aneurysm of about 22mm should this be fixed or just watched found by image for unrelated reason no symptoms ?

See your doctor: If you have no symptoms from it, you can follow it with serial scans every 506 months. Do not get pregnant and treat any hypertension. See your local vascular surgeon and interventional radiologist to go over scans, history and risk factors. If it ruptures you have a 80-90% chance of dying. Best wishes.
