PSAE in patient presenting with blunt splenic trauma and variant splenic anatomy. a Pre-embolisation diagnostic angiogram revealed the DPA arising directly from the coeliac trunk along with the left hepatic artery (LHA). CT angiography showed the right hepatic artery origin from the superior mesenteric artery, and the left gastric artery arising from the coeliac trunk, not shown here. b Post-embolisation angiogram shows an AVP plug (white star) inserted distal to the GPA origin and splenic perfusion maintained via the AsTP collateral circulation. This case was thus considered a Type III embolisation
