Angioembolization Reduces VTE Risk in Severe Splenic Injuries.

Angioembolization for high-grade splenic injuries leads to significantly lower venous thromboembolism rates compared to splenectomy. Despite less chemoprophylaxis use and delayed initiation, angioembolization is associated with decreased VTE, shorter hospital stays, and lower mortality. Therefore, considering angioembolization as the initial management for stable patients with severe splenic injuries could reduce VTE risk and improve overall outcomes.
