Abstract
CONTRAST visualization of the hepatic and splenic arteries has become generally recognized as the definitive way to establish the diagnosis of aneurysms of these arteries. Kirklin and his associates,1 in 1955, were apparently the first to make the diagnosis of a hepatic-artery aneurysm after translumbar aortography. In 1953 Owens and Coffey2 discussed the value of translumbar aortography for diagnosis of splenic-artery aneurysms and illustrated a case. Earlier, in 1946, Wagner3 was probably the first to opacity a splenic-artery aneurysm. Subsequently, 3 additional reports of splenic-artery aneurysm diagnosed by translumbar aortography have been presented.3 4 5 6 7 The safe and practical method of intravenous . . .Keywords
