Abstract

Given the rarity of splenic vein aneurysms, it is no surprise that there are little data to help guide clinicians regarding indications and techniques for repair. Traditionally associated with hepatobiliary pathology including portal hypertension and pancreatitis, management typically involved open splenectomy. We describe the case of a patient with an incidentally found enlarging splenic vein aneurysm in the absence of significant past medical history. The patient underwent successful repair of the aneurysm utilizing a transhepatic endovascular approach with a balloon expandable stent. We offer this as minimally invasive solution allowing splenic salvage.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
