Splenic artery aneurysm of the anomalous splenomesenteric trunk: successful treatment by transcatheter embolization using detachable coils.
A splenomesenteric trunk, which involves replacing the splenic artery from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), is rare and occurs in less than 1% of patients. We report a case of an aneurysm involving the origin of the splenic artery that anomalously arose from the SMA, and which was successfully treated using Guglielmi detachable coils.
