  • Title: Accessory Splenic Artery: A Rare Cause of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding.
    Author: Patel SR, Lowe S.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2017 Jul; 40(7):1115-1117. PubMed ID: 28154918.
    Abstract:
    Variations in the origin and branching pattern of splenic artery are relatively common and asymptomatic, but the presence of an accessory splenic artery, that too symptomatic, is quite rare. This report describes a 67-year-old male, with no history of liver disease, who presented with recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding and was found to have an accessory splenic artery arising from the left gastric artery with submucosal intragastric course and supplying the upper pole of the spleen.
