title: [Splenic abscess after angiography. Considerations on a clinical case].
abstract: A case of splenic abscess in a diabetic, cardiopathic and arteriopathic 49-year-old man is reported. The abscess developed on a previous splenic infarction caused by an embolus coming from an intraventricular thrombus. The angiographic procedure was the source of bacterial contamination (Staphylococcus aureus). The patient was successfully treated with splenectomy.
