Management of splenic pseudoaneurysms in hemodynamically stable patients has shifted toward nonoperative management, including watchful waiting and endovascular embolization. Standard of treatment does not include percutaneous embolization for splenic pseudoaneurysm repair. In this case report, we document a successful percutaneous embolization of a post traumatic splenic pseudoaneurysm with thrombin. Percutaneous embolization of splenic pseudoaneurysms can be considered a viable technique in patients who fail endovascular embolization or have lesions inaccessible to endovascular repair.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
