From: Splenic infarction complicating percutaneous transluminal coeliac artery stenting for chronic mesenteric ischaemia: a case report

Figure 1

CT scans of the abdomen. (a) CT scan of the abdomen performed prior to percutaneous transluminal stenting of the coeliac artery, demonstrating calcified plaque in the abdominal aorta (long arrow) and mid-splenic artery (short arrow). The spleen is normal (arrowhead). (b) A progress CT scan performed 18 hours post-procedure demonstrating two wedge-shaped splenic infarcts, one of which is depicted on this view by the arrowhead. Splenic artery calcification is evident not only as before but also more distally (short arrows), in keeping with embolism of calcified plaque during coeliac artery stenting. The coeliac artery stent is pictured protruding into the abdominal aorta (long arrow).
