No evil effects follow its removal, while the danger of
hemorrhage is effectually stopped.”

Epidemiologic Facts Related to
Infections after Splenectomy
Pneumococcal pneumonia is a common
community acquired pneumonia
Post splenectomy cases often poorly
documented
Other risk factors for pneumonia/infection are
often present
Not all infections after splenectomy are OPSI
Therefore ……
What is the risk of OPSI after splenectomy?
Best guess is < 1% in adults after trauma (0.020.2%)
More frequently rapidly fatal in adults (less
meningitis)
Impact of immunization after splenectomy

Kentucky Pediatric Experience
What should the surgeon do with
high grade splenic injuries?
Proportionately less common injuries
Some can be managed nonoperatively but which ones?
Price associated with failure (morbidity, mortality) is real
Problem with using historical controls
Impact of patients taken directly to the operating room
Does angiography have an impact?
Splenic Artery Embolization
Angiography for diagnosis reported in 1957
Angiography for hemostasis reported in 1981
(gelfoam-2, coil-1, vasopressin-1)
Angiography as a triage tool reported in 1991
44 stable patients 1984-87
19 without extravasation on angio
17 with extravasation embolized
8 underwent laparotomy (no angio)
Splenic Artery Embolization,
cont’d
Angiographic technique affects splenic
vessel recanalization and splenic function

Splenic Artery and Collaterals
Does angiography/embolization
improve splenic salvage?
Haan et al, J Trauma 2004
Multicenter study, n=155 w/ embolizaton
Splenic salvage of 87% reported
Failure rate of 14%, infarction rate of 27%
? how many patients had angio without
embolization ?
Compared to historical controls
Does angiography/embolization
improve splenic salvage?
Dent et al, J Trauma 2004
Report 168 injuries, 13 patients undergoing embo
Overall nonop success rate of 98%
Did not stratify by injury grade
Compared to historical controls
38% required repeat angio/embo
Does angiography/embolization
improve splenic salvage?
Haan et al, J Trauma 2005
Protocolized angio/embo (all patients after
CT then only grades 3-5 deemed
stable) (? n=298 ?)
Nonop success rate of 83-87% for grade 3-5
Not clear how this compared to no angio pts
Compared to historical controls (8 yr old data)
UPMC Experience
570 patients with blunt splenic trauma from 20002004

Conclusions
More splenic injuries are being identified
More frequent use of CT
More minor injuries
Low velocity mechanisms
Number of severe injuries unchanged
Careful patient selection for nonoperative management is essential for severe injuries
Morbidity and mortality are increased in patients that
ultimately fail nonoperative Tx compared to patients who do
not fail (?poor selection or failure-induced morbidity?)
Conclusions
Role of angiography remains to be defined
triage tool vs selective application
Splenectomy patients do suffer complications
Rate due to splenectomy itself is low
Role of associated injuries
Patients still die of splenic injuries
stop the hemorrhage
