Transcatheter Embolization for Splenic Artery Aneurysm-A Case Report

Splenic artery aneurysms are uncommon vascular lesions. A splenic artery aneurysm larger than 3 cm is even rare. Splenic artery aneurysms are fatal vascular lesions if ruptured. The incidence of rupture is increased in larger aneurysms. Transcatheter arterial embolization is an surgical alternative treatment which has relative lower morbidity and mortality than surgical procedures. We report a case of splenic artery aneurysm revealed by computed tomography (CT) in other institution. He has been transferred to our institution for transcatheter arterial embolization.
