ABSTRACT
Splenic artery pseudoaneurysm (SAP) is a very rare case, postoperatively. SAP originates from many causes such as complication of chronic pancreatitis in adults and blunt abdominal trauma in children. SAP related to surgery may result from direct tissue injury during operation. Urgent angiography is helpful in diagnoses and life-saving procedures as the endovascular embolization simultaneously. However, endovascular management is not a definite treatment modality in patients previously operated on because the blood supply of remaining organs will be insufficient after embolization. In this paper, we report a rare case that is proximal splenic artery pseudoaneurysm after radical subtotal gastrectomy in a 63-year-old male patient with early gastric cancer, as well as a brief review.
