Abstract

A 53-year-old man visited our hospital following a medical check-up that detected a submucosal tumor-like lesion of the stomach. An enhanced CT scan showed the aneurysm (25×25mm in diameter) in the main trunk of the splenic artery, and a transcatheter arterial embolization with interlocking detachable coil (IDC®) was performed. We inserted a microcatheter into the aneurysm and packed it with IDC®. The postembolic course was uneventful, an no deviation was seen. Interventional radiology is less invasive than surgery. Therefore, we consider this procedure is the treatment of choice for splenic artery aneurysm on a case-by-case basis.
