Splenic artery embolization (SAE) is a well-established method for treating traumatic splenic hemorrhage as well as splenic neoplasms [1–3]. This procedure may provide an alternative to open surgery. However, there are risks involved with SAE, mainly due to possible complications after the procedure. Most frequent complications are lactate acidosis, sepsis, renal insufficiency, and bowel perforation. We describe a patient with malignant hypersplenism who underwent SAE to treat severe thrombocytopenia. Complications several days after the procedure included bowel necrosis, probably caused by an occult pheochromocytoma and triggered by stress caused by the procedure.
