Coiling of artery: Percutaneous transcatheter coil embolization is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment for splenic artery aneurysma as evidenced by high rates of technical success and freedom from aneurysm rupture (90%). Have to find experienced interventional radiologist in this procedure.
