In traumatic splenic injury, hemodynamically instability and hollow viscus injuries are indicated for surgical intervention. However, patients who are hemodynamically stable and do not have peritonitis are considered for nonoperative management. Splenic angirogram and embolization is the mainstem of nonoperative management of bleeding splenic injury with hemodynamically stability. Recently, splenic embolization is replacing the surgical interven-tion for splenic injured patients who ishemodynamically unstable. We report the case success-fullytreated using angiographic embolization for hemodynamically compromised splenic injured patient. (J Surg Crit Care 2013;3:29-31)
