We report the successful surgical resection of a saccular aneurysm of the suprarenal abdominal aorta adjacent to the origin of the superior mesenteric artery. Reconstruction of the superior mesenteric artery with the splenic artery was a useful technique for salvaging the ischemic small intestine. However, successful surgical treatment of this type of aneurysm remains a great challenge.
