Long-term follow-up of infection, malignancy, thromboembolism, and all-cause mortality risks after splenic artery embolization for blunt splenic injury: comparison with splenectomy and conservative management
Long-term infection, malignancy, thromboembolism, and all-cause mortality risks were not significantly different between the splenic artery embolization and conservative treatment groups. In contrast, patients who underwent splenectomies had increased infection, malignancy, thromboembolism, and all-cause mortality risks. Clinicians must be familiar with the potential long-term complications associated with the different treatment modalities for splenic injuries and provide appropriate prophylactic measures.
