What are some complications of splenic embolisation?
Fever, pleural effusion and partial splenic infarction.
Preliminary selective splenic angiography, confirming splenic upper pole laceration with active bleeding/pseudoaneurysm formation.
The main splenic artery upper pole branch was then superselected, followed by transcatheter embolisation with a total of 6 x fibered platinum coils (VortX, Boston Scientific) ranging from 2-6 mm diameter to acceptable stasis.
