Abstract

The splenic artery is the visceral vessel that is most often affected by aneurysmal disease. Occasionally, gastrointestinal bleeding may signify that the aneurysm is in communication with the digestive tract. We report on the case of a 64-year-old multiparous patient with intermittent digestive bleeding caused by a splenic artery aneurysm who was successfully treated with endovascular embolization.

Keywords

Splenic artery, aneurysm, hemorrhage gastrointestinal, embolization therapeutic

Resumo

A artéria esplênica é o vaso visceral mais acometido pela doença aneurismática. Ocasionalmente, um sangramento gastrointestinal pode refletir uma comunicação entre o aneurisma de artéria esplênica e o trato digestivo. Relatamos o caso de uma paciente de 64 anos com hemorragia digestiva intermitente devida a aneurisma de artéria esplênica, a qual foi submetida ao tratamento endovascular por embolização com sucesso.

Palavras-chave
