Splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) is a rare disease that is asymptomatic for a long time and is often only incidentally discovered during imaging performed for other reasons. The natural history of SAA is a progressive increase in size until rupture. Therefore, treatment is recommended in symptomatic patients and for aneurysms larger than 2 cm in diameter. Using different techniques, endovascular treatment is feasible in nearly all SAAs. In this report, we describe a technique using Amplatzer Vascular Plug in endovascular ligature to exclude an SAA of the middle tract of the splenic artery. D 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Abstract

Splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) is a rare disease that is asymptomatic for a long time and is often only incidentally discovered during imaging performed for other reasons. The natural history of SAA is a progressive increase in size until rupture. Therefore, treatment is recommended in symptomatic patients and for aneurysms larger than 2 cm in diameter. Using different techniques, endovascular treatment is feasible in nearly all SAAs. In this report, we describe a technique using Amplatzer Vascular Plug in endovascular ligature to exclude an SAA of the middle tract of the splenic artery. D 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
