Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective is to show that splenic embolization improves salvage rate at one month in a population of hemostatically stable closed splenic trauma patients with a high risk of splenectomy

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Embolization

this arm of the study was interventional (embolization) with CT scans at inclusion (D0, to validate the inclusion criteria), at one month (D30-validating the primary endpoint) and at 6 months (D180) read by 2 expert radiologists blinded to the study arm

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Embolization

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

this arm of the study was interventional (splenic artery embolization)

Surveillance

this arm of the study was non-interventional (surveillance), with CT scans at inclusion (D0, to validate the inclusion criteria), at one month (D30-validating the primary endpoint) and at 6 months (D180 ) read by 2 expert radiologists blinded to the study arm

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Suffered a closed splenic trauma within the last 48 hours
* A high risk of splenectomy:

* Reaching spleen Moore grade 4 and 5 in the abdominal injected CT or
* Reaching spleen Moore 3 and at least one of the following characteristics:

* Important Hemoperitoneum (when visible in the pelvic area).
* Severe associated impairment (NISS-New Injury Severity Score greater than or equal to 15)
* Patients volunteering to participate in the study, having signed the consent form or with the agreement of the family if the patient is not capable of giving consent; after adequate information and delivery of the patient and/or family information leaflet.

* Patient with open splenic trauma
* Patient with surgical indication excluding the possibility of monitoring splenic trauma
* Patient with an indication for embolization of a body other than the spleen at the time of inclusion
* Patient with an indication for splenic embolization as a result of a post-traumatic vascular anomaly (active leakage of contrast agent, pseudoaneurysm or early splenic arteriovenous fistula).
* Patients aged less than 18 years and ≥ 75 years
* Patients with a previous spleen disease (tumor, infection, vascular anomaly intrasplenically)
* Patient with trauma Moore grade 1 or 2
* Patient with trauma grade Moore 5 with total ischemia of the spleen
* Patients who underwent partial or total splenectomy before inclusion
* Patient having acquired or innate immune deficiency
* All indications not permitting the achievement of embolization
* Pregnant woman
* Person deprived of liberty by judicial or administrative decision, person subject to a measure of legal protection.
* Patient currently participating in a clinical study or having participated in a clinical study in the month preceding the inclusion
* Patient with a condition or a history of mental or psychiatric disorder or any other factor limiting their ability to participate in an informed manner and to comply with the protocol.
