Background: Splenic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a rare vascular anomaly that can arise from trauma, aneurysmal rupture, or congenital conditions. Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial to preventing complications such as portal hypertension and high-output cardiac failure.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a 62-year-old male with a traumatic splenic AVF resulting from a road traffic accident (RTA), associated with a Grade IV splenic injury and multiple pseudoaneurysms. The patient underwent successful endovascular coil embolization and experienced an asymptomatic follow-up.
Conclusion: Endovascular coil embolisation is a minimally invasive and effective first-line treatment for traumatic splenic AVFs, particularly in hemodynamically stable patients, providing excellent outcomes and organ preservation.
