Abstract

Splenic artery aneurysms are an uncommon entity and are usually asymptomatic when diagnosed. Treatment is based on size, with aneurysms greater than 2 cm usually undergoing surgical repair. We present a case in which percutaneous thrombin injection was used for treatment of a splenic artery aneurysm.
