Splenic Artery Embolization: Tips, Tricks, and Current Standards of Practice

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to provide a comprehensive overview of splenic artery embolization (SAE), exploring its evolution from a treatment for traumatic splenic injuries to its current applications in various non-traumatic conditions. They discuss the anatomical considerations, technical aspects, and procedural guidelines necessary to optimize outcomes and minimize complications associated with SAE. Additionally, the paper reviews the indications for SAE, including management of hypersplenism, thrombocytopenia, and splenic aneurysms, while emphasizing the importance of preserving collateral blood flow.
