Due to lower clinical significance, the management of Dieulafoy and Dieulafoy-like lesions is less commonly reported than the management of their impending venous equivalent, variceal bleeding. Though Dieulafoy and Dieulafoy-like lesions are often benign, they can become life-threatening in certain clinical scenarios, especially with substantial changes in hemodynamic blood flow, which results in hemorrhage. Post-procedural hemodynamic blood flow should be carefully monitored in patients who receive procedures that drastically alter hemodynamic flow pressures. Factoring in the presence of Dieulafoy and Dieulafoy-like lesions might deepen the complexity of an intuitive surgical or interventional procedure for an experienced operator, and should, therefore, involve the cooperative effort between surgical, interventional, and diagnostic services to appropriately manage the patients. The case we present demonstrates the dire consequences of a routine splenectomy when a considerable change in hemodynamic pressure across benign Dieulafoy-like lesions occurs in a patient with both splenic artery and venous thrombosis.
