[Aneurysms of the splenic artery in patients with liver transplantation].

Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) are not uncommon in patients with hepatic transplant (HT). Three in 150 transplanted patients in our institutions were diagnosed with SAA and two of them had a spontaneous rupture. In two patients embolization with interventionist radiology was performed with excellent results. SAA should be investigated before and after HT and be treated with embolization as soon as possible because of the high risk of rupture.
