Coil embolization. There are two embolization techniques: endovascular ligation that requires the positioning of the coils on either side of the aneurysm (sandwich technique) in order to attain complete occlusion[1,5,9,10], and embolization using coils limited to the aneurysmal sac with patency of the splenic artery. Nonoperative management with splenic arterial embolization (SAE) is the current standard of care for hemodynamically stable patients. The purpose of this article is to review This article reviews the indications, technical considerations, outcomes, and complications of splenic artery embolization. All patients should be given patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) for pain control. Download scientific diagram | Indications for main splenic artery embolization. traumatic splenic injury, particularly AAST gradeIII-V injuries in haemodynamically stable patients Indications include persistent hypersplenism and pancytopenia precluding optimal treatment with antiviral therapy or chemotherapy, risk for persistent gastroesophageal variceal hemorrhage, We report a case of progressive splenomegaly requiring delayed splenectomy after embolization. However, the complications of embolization are not well defined. The procedure indications included aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm (n=15), gastric variceal hemorrhage (n=15), preoperative reduction of surgical blood loss (n=9), or other (n=11). partial splenic artery embolization (pse) has been used for a wide range of indications, including the control of bleeding in blunt splenic injuries, portal hypertension complications, and Download scientific diagram | Indications for main splenic artery embolization. Splenic artery embolization provides safer nonsurgical options in management of cases such as trauma, hypersplenism, portal hypertension for control of hemorrhage and preservation of splenic function. In indications for pse were as follows: (1) adjunctive therapy for high risk bleeding varices ( n = 98) (2) chronic or recurrent bleeding other than variceal hemorrhage, including massive gingival bleeding, epistaxis, and chronic anemia secondary to silent gastrointestinal bleeding ( n = 44), (3) marked thrombocytopenia interfering with surgery, Transcatheter splenic artery embolization has a major role in the man - agement of traumatic splenic injuries and as an adjunctive procedure in the treatment of However, the indications for SAE have not been clearly defined and, in some cases, the potential complications of the procedure may outweigh its benefits. Hemostatic coils are inserted into the splenic artery through an angiographic catheter for the purpose of decreasing blood flow to the spleen. Splenic artery embolization is a useful adjunct to nonoperative management for patients with ongoing hemorrhage. This article reviews the indications, technical considerations, outcomes, and com - plications of splenic artery embolization. CONCLUSION. This article reviews the indications, technical considerations, outcomes, and complications of splenic artery embolization. Conclusion: Transcatheter splenic artery embolization has a major role in the management of traumatic splenic injuries and as an adjunctive procedure in the treatment of thrombocytopenia and portal hypertension. Partial splenic embolization is performed to improve the platelet count in patients with Advances in catheterization techniques have led to the broadening of the indications of splenic artery embolization. Conclusion: Transcatheter splenic artery embolization has a Fusiform true aneurysms are better treated with a stent graft (covered stent), while tortuous, saccular aneurysms are treated with aneurysmal coiling techniques.Pseudoaneurysms can be treated with embolization using liquid embolic agents to thrombose the inflow and outflow arteries or filling the sac itself. Current data favor the use of proximal and coil What is the treatment for splenic artery aneurysm? In proximal SAE (pSAE), the mid-splenic artery is embolized between the origins of the dorsal pancreatic artery and pancreatica magna artery with either endovascular plugs (VPs) or endovascular coils (EC). Splenic artery embolization (SAE) has been an effective adjunct to the Non-operative management (NOM) for blunt splenic injury (BSI). from publication: Residual Splenic Volume after Main Splenic Artery Embolization is Independent of the Most SAAs are detected incidentally without symptoms during diagnostic imaging for other indications. control, and limited volume embolization.4 We discuss the indications, relevant anatomy, preprocedure evalua-tion, techniques, complications, and postprocedure care are extremely common after splenic artery embolization. (B) Splenic arteriogram, AP projection, midarterial phase, following proximal coil embolization of the main splenic artery. Splenic artery embolization is an endovascular technique for treatment of splenic and splenic artery pathology as an alternative to splenic artery ligation or splenectomy. It often results in successfully treating the underlying pathology, while maintaining at least partial splenic function. splenic embolization should be performed in patients with high-grade splenic injury (american association for the surgery of trauma grade ivv), those with american association for the surgery of trauma grade iii splenic laceration when a large hemoperitoneum is present, and in those with any vascular splenic injury such as contrast PDF | Background: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a routine medical emergency. Transcatheter splenic artery embolization has a This article reviews the indications, technical considerations, outcomes, and complications of splenic artery embolization. Precise indications in hematology All patients should be admitted to the hospital for postprocedure care. Postembolization syndrome of fever, left upper abdominal pain, nausea, and anorexia are extremely common after splenic artery embolization. All patients should be given patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) for pain control. This reduces the intra-splenic arterial pressure which allows the parenchyma time to heal. control, and limited volume embolization.4 We discuss the indications, relevant anatomy, preprocedure evalua-tion, techniques, complications, and postprocedure care are extremely common after splenic artery embolization. Although their indications are yet to be completely However, the optimal embolization techniques are still inconclusive. The panel suggests splenic artery embolization (SAE) as the first-line intervention in patients with hemodynamic stability and arterial blush on CT scan, irrespective of injury grade. Common indications of PSE include hypersplenism with portal hypertension, hereditary spherocytosis, thalassemia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, splenic trauma, idiopathic Expand PDF Save Alert Partial splenic embolization H. Yoshida, Y. Mamada, N. Taniai, T. Tajiri Medicine Major complications arising from splenic artery coil embolization are very rare. Splenic artery embolisation is an endovascular technique for treatment of splenic and splenic artery pathology as an alternative to splenic artery ligation or splenectomy. The spleen is the second most commonly injured organ in cases of abdominal trauma. It often Splenic artery embolization (SAE) is a valuable adjunct to nonoperative management. The spleen is the second most commonly injured organ in cases of abdominal trauma. Rupture of SAAs is rare, with the rate of potential rupture ranging from 3% All patients should be given patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) for pain control. Management of splenic injury depends on the clinical status of the patient and can include nonoperative management (NOM), splenic artery embolization (SAE), surgery (operative splenic salvage or splenectomy), or a combination of these treatments. Antibiotic prophylaxis with 250 This modality was initially described for hematologic indications in the 1970s , . (A) Splenic arteriogram, anteroposterior (AP) projection, midarterial phase, demonstrating hypervascular structure within the splenic parenchyma (white arrows) and an early draining splenic vein (open arrow). The sophistication of interventional catheterization techniques has led to a broad range of indications for splenic artery embolization. CONCLUSION. Hemodynamically stable patients selected for nonoperative management have improved clinical outcomes when splenic artery embolization is utilized. This case represents a rare and life-threatening complication after undergoing splenic artery coil embolization. In nonoperatively Conclusion: Indications for splenic embolization are numerous, and include hypersplenism, splenic trauma, and hematologic disorders. Management of splenic injury depends on the clinical status of the patient and can In nonoperatively managed cases, SAE is sometimes used to control haemorrhage. Indications include persistent hypersplenism and pancytopenia precluding optimal treatment with antiviral therapy or chemotherapy, risk for persistent gastroesophageal variceal hemorrhage, and splenic artery steal syndrome attenuating hepatic arterial perfusion. Antibiotic prophylaxis with 250 control, and limited volume embolization.4 We discuss the indications, relevant anatomy, preprocedure evalua-tion, techniques, complications, and postprocedure care are extremely
