Splenic artery embolization (SAE) demonstrates high efficacy in preserving the spleen during treatment of grade III-V splenic injuries. Notably, timing is crucial; earlier embolization correlates with better outcomes. In a study of 400 patients, both SAE (98.2% preservation) and nonoperative observation (97.7%) achieved significant success. Factors influencing embolization effectiveness include cranial AIS scores and the duration from admission to the procedure, underscoring the necessity for prompt intervention to optimize patient recovery.
