Both coarctation of the abdominal aorta, and splenic artery aneurysm reside in the hilus, a rare but extremely important pathological condition. Herein a 36-year-old woman hospitalized for uncontrolled hypertension is presented. Aortography demonstrated segmental abdominal aortic coarctation with left renal artery and splenic artery aneurysms. Medical control of hypertension was not possible and thoracoabdominal bypass with a prosthetic graft was undertaken. Left renal artery aneurysm was resected and aorto-renal saphenous vein bypass was performed. But splenic artery aneurysm was left in situ because it was asymptomatic and less than 2 cm in diameter. Postoperatively the patient was normotensive. Although the pathogenesis of such lesions remain unknown, it may be to congenital or related medial degeneration as demonstrated histologically.
