🩸 Splenic artery embolisation: how IR saves the spleen

The spleen is the most frequently injured organ in blunt abdominal trauma. The mechanism is usually deceleration — a road traffic collision, a fall from height, handlebar injuries, contact sport. The capsule tears, the parenchyma fractures, and because the spleen handles a large share of cardiac output, bleeding can be brisk and hidden.

⚔️ For decades the answer was splenectomy. Then we understood what the spleen does: filtering encapsulated bacteria, maintaining immune memory. Losing it means lifelong susceptibility to overwhelming post-splenectomy infection. So the goal shifted from removing the organ to saving it.

🖥️ Today the CT decides. A patient in shock with haemoperitoneum goes to laparotomy. Everyone else is scanned, and what the scan shows determines the path: active contrast leak or a pseudoaneurysm sends the patient to the angio suite, while a clean scan means non-operative care with repeat imaging.

🎯 That's where IR comes in. Splenic artery embolisation — proximal to drop perfusion pressure across the whole organ, or selective to target the bleeding branch — stops the haemorrhage through a puncture in the groin, and the spleen stays where it belongs.

🩸 Active extravasation on the angiogram. You're at the table.

⏱️ Which embolic do you reach for?

🤔 There's no single right answer — and that's exactly the skill. The choice depends on:
📏vessel size
🔀collateral supply,
🧐whether you want temporary or permanent occlusion,
🚨and how sick the patient is

Example:
🧽 Gelatin sponge — temporary, allows recanalisation. Useful in trauma, especially in young patients
🌀 Coils — precise and permanent, but need a landing zone and won't help against rich collaterals
🔵Particles — distal occlusion for diffuse bleeding; mind the non-target territory ⚠️
💧Liquid agents (NBCA/EVOH) — fast and effective in coagulopathy, steeper learning curve 📈

🎯 Whatever you pick: get as close to the bleeding point as possible, and always ask what tissue you're depriving of blood.
