Angioembolization in patients with blunt splenic trauma in Germany –guidelines vs. Reality a retrospective registry-based cohort study of the TraumaRegister DGU®
In this cohort splenic injuries AAST ≥ 3 were predominantly managed surgically and ANGIO was rarely used to augment NOM. Therefore, clinical reality deviates from guideline recommendations regarding the use of ANGIO and NOM. Local interdisciplinary treatment protocols might close that gap in the future.
