Implication

Retrospective analysis shows stable hematologic parameters in patients with splenic trauma and aneurysms after SAE, suggesting its efficacy.

Key Points

  • Splenic arterial embolization showed a stable splenic function despite volume reduction over time, indicating efficacy.
  • Mean splenic volume decreased significantly in both trauma and aneurysm groups, although not statistically significant (p = 0.2158, p = 0.184).
  • Retrospective CT volumetric analysis of 17 patients treated with SAE highlights the preserved splenic function post-procedure.
  • Results support SAE's role in spleen preservation, with no late complications like abscesses or need for secondary splenectomy.
