  • Title: Endovascular ligature of splenic artery aneurysm with Amplatzer Vascular Plug: a case report.
    Author: Carrafiello G, Laganà D, Dizonno M, Mangini M, Fugazzola C.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Revasc Med; 2007; 8(3):203-6. PubMed ID: 17765650.
    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.
