Description

In the past decade, selective splenic angioembolization (SAE) has improved the nonoperative management (NOM) success rate in patients with blunt splenic injury. In this study we assessed the characteristics of these trauma patients to identify factors that could predict the failure of NOM. We also applied the scale of the Japan Trauma Association (JTA) grading of splenic injury as well as the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grading in the present study. A retrospective chart review of 31 trauma patients with blunt injury to the spleen admitted between September 2000 and July 2006 was performed. In the initial treatment, 8 patients (26%) were treated with a surgical operation, nineteen patients (29%) underwent angiography and 16 patients (52%) were treated with SAE. Nonoperative treatment was successful for 13 patients (42%). AAST gradeIIIand higher, JTA gradeIIIc and higher, PRBCs and proximal embolization all correlated with SAE failure. Left renal injuries correlated with a higher grade of splenic injuries.
