ABSTRACT
Splenic artery aneurysms are more common in patients with cirrhosis than in the general population. We report the case of a patient with a history of an orthotopic liver transplant who developed an enlarging splenic artery aneurysm that was treated with splenic artery embolization. He developed extensive portal vein thrombosis and subsequently splenic abscess. Both complications were managed endovascularly, with catheter-directed thrombolysis and percutaneous drains. This case illustrates the possible complications after splenic artery embolization and demonstrates the nonsurgical options for treatment.
