[Endovascular treatment of a large aneurysm of the splenic artery using the Gianturco spirals].
A splenic artery aneurysm is a rarely encountered disease typically proceeding symptom-free and associated with a relatively high lethality rate, should a rupture occur. Currently, various types of endovascular treatment for this nosological entity are used widely. The article deals with a case of successful embolization of a large aneurysm of the splenic artery by means of the Gianturco spirals. The minimally invasive nature and high efficacy of this method make it possible to regard it as one of the therapeutic modalities for treating splenic-artery aneurysms.
