Abstract
Traditionally giant splenic artery aneurysms have been treated by surgery. We present the first case report of a patient with a giant splenic artery aneurysm that was successfully treated exclusively by transcatheter technique with only proximal embolization. Potentially, this technique makes more patients eligible for endovascular therapy and reduces operative time.
