title: Endovascular stent graft for traumatic splenic vein aneurysm via percutaneous transsplenic access.
abstract: Traumatic splenic vein aneurysm (SVA) is an extremely rare entity. Traditionally, treatment varied from noninvasive followup to aneurysm excision with splenectomy. However, there has been no prior report of traumatic SVA treated with endovascular stent graft for SVA via percutaneous transsplenic access. Therefore, we report the case of a 56-year-old man successfully treated with endovascular stent graft for traumatic SVA via percutaneous transsplenic access.
