LOPES, José Almeida; BRANDAO, Daniel  and  MANSILHA, Armando. Endovascular correction of splenic artery aneurysm: case report. Angiol Cir Vasc [online]. 2012, vol.8, n.2, pp.60-63. ISSN 1646-706X.

Splenic artery aneurysms, although they are the most common splanchnic aneurysms, they have a prevalence of only 0,01%. In this context the authors present a case report of a 41 years female patient with a splenic artery aneurysm of 20x29mm, treated by deployment of a covered self-expandable stent (Gore® Viabahn®). It is performed a literature review of the pathology in question, possible complications and made reference to the various treatment options, with particular emphasis on the new endovascular techniques.

Keywords : splenic artery aneurysm; endovascular.
