Transcatheter embolization of the spleen for control of splenic hemorrhage and in situ splenectomy: an experimental study using silicone spheres

WB Guilford and JH Scatliff

Silicone spheres were used for the transcatheter arterial embolization of dogs. This material successfully stops splenic hemorrhage in the lacerated organ, and also reduces spleen size. Use of silicone emboli to produce in situ splenectomy is not associated with morbidity or mortality in dogs. The authors discuss the value of using these methods in treating the high-surgical-risk patient.
