[Splenic artery embolization for the treatment of traumatic splenic rupture]

We used splenic artery gelfoam embolization to save the spleen Seldinger's method in 20 patients with traumatic rupture of the spleen. All patients had the spleen reserved by single embolizing hemostasis satisfactorily. We delineate the method, clinical value, indication and experience of embolism-hemostasis in detail.
