Figure 1 Coronal slice of abdominal computed tomography with intravenous contrast in the portal venous phase demonstrating haemoperitoneum (asterisk) and splenic subcapsular haematoma (arrow).
Figure 2 Coronal slice of computed tomography angiogram demonstrating splenic artery pseudoaneurysm (arrow) with no evidence of active bleeding (measurements 9.
1 × 8.3 × 8.1 mm).
Figure 3 3D reconstruction of computed tomography angiogram demonstrating splenic artery pseudoaneurysm (circled).
Figure 4 Still image from formal angiogram demonstrating intra-arterial catheter and deployment of endovascular plug (circled, visible beyond the tip of the catheter).
Figure 5 Coeliac angiography after deployment of endovascular plug.
Note the abrupt cessation of blood flow in the proximal splenic artery (arrow).
Figure 6 Delayed still image from coeliac angiogram confirming complete occlusion of the proximal splenic artery by endovascular plug (arrow).
Figure 7 Coronal slice of abdominal computed tomography on day 5 of admission, demonstrating reduction in size of both haemoperitoneum and splenic subcapsular haematoma.
