Abstract
Splenic injuries continue to be a common solid organ injury among trauma victims.
Practice outcomes continue to improve with centers now routinely incorporating endovascular
therapy into nonoperative management protocols. Since such incorporation, endovascular
practice patterns continue to evolve as more data regarding outcomes concerning approach,
embolic techniques, and time to intervention become available. These data are driving
trauma centers to adopt multidisciplinary protocols with standardization of triage
to nonoperative management, imaging, and endovascular interventions. This review aims
to provide the interventionalist with an overview of existing and upcoming practice
patterns.
