Methods Forty patients with traumatic splenic injury in the First Affiliated Hospital, Shihezi University Medical College from 2014 to 2018 were studied for comparison, 20 cases with splenic artery embolization and 20 cases with surgery as control group. The index were evaluated including the efficacy of interventional therapy, postoperative blood pressure, account of blood cells, procedure duration, blood loss, hospital stay and postoperative complications. Results All patients in splenic artery interventional embolization group were successfully treated. Reduced procedure duration, less blood loss, less time of hospitalization and less cases with postoperative complications were found significantly (P<0.05) when compared with those in control group.
