title: N-butyl cyanoacrylate glue embolization of splenic artery aneurysms.
abstract: A patient with Polyarteritis Nodosa presented with abdominal pain and low hematocrit level. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) depicted the presence of free blood and CT angiography revealed two aneurysms in the inferior branch of the splenic artery that were subsequently treated by endovascular transarterial embolization with N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate. Post embolization splenic arteriography demonstrated complete embolization of both aneurysms, including the inflow and outflow vessels.
