We describe a case of a large and wide neck splenic artery aneurysm, treated by coil embolization using a balloon neck remodeling technique. The patency of the splenic artery was preserved without technical complications. This method should be considered as an alternative method for transcatheter management of splenic artery aneurysms.

Abbreviations: IDCs, interlocking detachable coils, TAE, transarterial embolization
