title: Calcified splenic artery aneurysm discovered during coronary arteriography.
abstract: We present a case of calcified splenic artery aneurysm discovered during routine coronary angiography. Early awareness of these aneurysms is important since their rupture may cause serious complications. This case emphasizes the importance of attention to cardiac and extra-cardiac structures during coronary angiography.
