Splenic arteriovenous fistula and sudden onset of portal hypertension as complications of a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm: Successful treatment with transcatheter arterial embolization. A case study and review of the literature

Figure 2 Selective transarterial catheterization (long black arrow) and embolization of the aneurysmal sac with numerous adequate metallic macrocoils (small black arrows) resulted in full occlusion of the sac and the fistulous tract enabling thus the reduction of the pressure in the splenoportal circulation.
