Abstract
Aneurysms of the Splenic Artery in Liver Transplant Recipients
Splenic artery aneurysms occur infrequently in the normal population, but presents with increased incidence among cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension. The optimal management of splenic artery aneurysms and the prevention of spontaneous rupture in these patients present a therapeutic challenge for transplant physicians and surgeons. We discuss a case of SAA rupture in a liver transplant recipient, and evaluate the available treatment options described in the literature.
