Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Splenic angioembolization (SAE) can rarely cause pancreatic ischemia and necrosis. Physicians should monitor for sepsis after SAE, indicating potential pancreatic complications.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Splenic angioembolization (SAE) is a common procedure for managing splenic trauma.
  • Complications, though rare, necessitate thorough investigation and awareness.

Observation:

  • A 48-year-old male with Grade IV blunt splenic injury underwent proximal SAE.
  • One week post-procedure, the patient developed severe sepsis.

Findings:

  • CT imaging revealed distal pancreatic nonperfusion.
  • Laparotomy confirmed approximately 40% pancreatic necrosis.
  • Subsequent distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy were performed.

Implications:

  • Pancreatic ischemia is an extremely rare but serious complication of SAE.
  • Clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for ischemic pancreatic complications in patients presenting with sepsis post-SAE.
