Abstract
The aim of the present study is to report the endovascular treatment of a giant splenic aneurysm. Female patient, 56 years old, during an outpatient investigation of complaints of sporadic nausea, without associated abdominal pain, a contrast-enhanced tomography was performed, showing two saccular splenic artery aneurysms, one in the proximal third with a diameter of 6.2x4.5cm and one in the middle-distal third of 5.1x4.4cm. Procedure performed in three stages: initially with arteriography of the celiac trunk for therapeutic planning; in a second moment, embolization was performed with splenic artery coils, in a portion distal to the aneurysms, with success; and in a third moment, embolization of the proximal portion of the splenic artery was performed, with a 12mm vascular plug, without intercurrences. Patient with good evolution, discharged in the first postoperative period and in outpatient follow-up. Endovascular treatment is the first choice for correction of LAAs, and advances in methods and materials available allow it to be used as an option in cases of complex anatomy.
