Endovascular Treatment of a Ruptured Splenic Artery Aneurysm using Amplatzer® Vascular Plug

Abstract

Splenic Artery Aneurysms are commonly detected incidentally and can present acutely as a source of intra-abdominal catastrophe. Management options include both surgical and endovascular repair. The role of endovascular repair in an haemodynamically stable acute rupture is undefined and the use of Amplatzer® Vascular Plug has not to our knowledge been reported.
