Abstract EN
Splenic artery aneurysms are the most common visceral arterial aneurysm formations, as well as the 3rd frequent abdominal aneurysm.
Most of them are asymptomatic until rupture and are ascertained unintentionally, usually after an imaging study.
Open surgery is the elective therapy for splenic artery aneurysm, but has the disadvantages of severe surgical injuries including high rates of mortality and high risk complications.
Case Presentation: In this case report, we present a 44-year-old woman with right upper quadrant abdominal pain diagnosed as Splenic artery aneurysms.
This pain was first vague and gradually caused more discomfort and, occasionally, caused a sharp pain with radiation to the back that had no relation with food or position aneurysms.
Conclusions: Selection of a suitable super-stiff guide wire during the procedure to provide sufficient support and decrease the difficulties related to stent graft delivery and release seems to be necessary.
Nowadays endovascular modality for the treatment of splenic artery aneurysm is recognized and in selected patients can be done with fewer complications and good results.
