| Abstract: | A case of successful obliteration of a bleeding splenic artery pseudoaneurysm secondary to necrotizing pancreatitis is reported. The material used for embolization was stainless steel coils. A variation of the technique is introduced. Instead of occluding the pseudoaneurysm cavity itself, embolization only of the afferent vessel is advised. |
