Embolization of a True Giant Splenic Artery Aneurysm Using NBCA Glue – Case Report and Literature Review

چکیده
BACKGROUND Although splenic artery aneurysms (SAAs) are common, their giant forms (more than 10 cm in diameter) are rare. Because of the variety of forms and locations of these aneurysms, there are a lot of therapeutic methods to choose. In our case of a giant true aneurysm we performed an endovascular embolization with N-butyl-cyano-acrylate (NBCA) glue. To our knowledge it is the first reported case of this method of treatment of true giant SAA. CASE REPORT A 74-year-old male patient with symptomatic giant SAA (13 cm) was urgently admitted to our hospital for the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Due to the general health condition, advanced age and the large size of the aneurysm we decided to perform an endovascular treatment with N-butyl-cyano-acrylate (NBCA) glue. CONCLUSIONS The preaneurysmal part of splenic artery was occluded completely with exclusion of the aneurysm. No splenectomy was needed. The patient was discharged in good general condition Embolization with NBCA can be an efficient method to treat the giant SAA.

rare vascular lesions of the brain. These lesions differ from arteriovenous malformation (AVMs) as they are direct artery to vein connections, have no nidus, and are composed of one or more direct arterial feeders with a single draining vein. Many of these have associated venous varix or giant venous aneurysms (1). Owing to the absence of a nidus, closure of the shunt by either endovascular or ...

A case of three pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) aneurysms associated with coeliac artery occlusion and a concomitant splenic arterial aneurysm is described. Surgical treatment was used because it was anticipated that the hepatic blood supply would be obstructed completely if percutaneous transluminal embolization for three PDA aneurysms were performed. Splenectomy in continuity with the spleni...

Ruptured internal iliac artery aneurysms (IIAA) are extremely rare, and the repair can be challenging. This case reports described an 83-year-old patient who presented at our Emergency Department with acute abdominal pain based on a ruptured IIAA. He refused open repair and only wanted to be treated as minimally invasive as possible. Therefore endovascular embolization of the IIAA was performed...
