The use of a protocol requiring routine splenic artery embolization for all high-grade spleen injuries slated for non-operative management is safe with a very low complication rate. NOM with splenic angioembolization failure rate is improved as compared to non-SAE patients' at all higher grades of injury. Thus, SAE for all hemodynamically stable patients of all high-grade types should be considered as a primary form of therapy for such injuries.
