Abstract No. 108 Pilot randomized controlled trial of endovascular coils and vascular plugs for proximal splenic artery embolization in high-grade splenic trauma

Proximal splenic artery embolization (pSAE) is used for non-operative management of high-grade splenic injuries, most often using endovascular coils (EC) or vascular plugs (VP). It is not known which device is superior. The purpose of this pilot trial was to evaluate the feasibility of enrolling patients in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing these devices, and to collect data to inform the design of a larger clinical effectiveness trial.
