Percutaneous embolization of post traumatic splenic pseudoaneurysm

Management of splenic pseudoaneurysms in hemodynamically stable patients has shifted toward nonoperative management, including watchful waiting and endovascular embolization. Standard of treatment does not include percutaneous embolization for splenic pseudoaneurysm repair. In this case report, we document a successful percutaneous embolization of a post traumatic splenic pseudoaneurysm with thrombin. Percutaneous embolization of splenic pseudoaneurysms can be considered a viable technique in patients who fail endovascular embolization or have lesions inaccessible to endovascular repair.
