The role of IR in Visceral Trauma Dr Robert Morgan MRCP, FRCR, EBIR, FCIRSE St George’s Hospital and Medical School, London
Financial Disclosures • Consultant: W Cook Europe Covidien Angiodynamics
OVERVIEW • Introduction • Organ specific trauma • Spleen • Liver • Kidney
Introduction • Uncontrolled post-traumatic bleeding is the leading cause of potentially preventable death among trauma patients up to 80% is due to visceral organ injury 20% of pts have multiple vascular injuries • Visceral organ injury occurs in ~30% of abdominal trauma • Van der Vlies et al, Int J Emerg Med 2010 • World Health Organisation 2004 • Deunk J et al. Ann Surg 2010
Management options • Conservative • Embolization • Surgery
Conservative Mangement • 60 - 90% of blunt hepatic, renal or splenic injuries • Predictors of success Hemodynamic stability Liver, Kidney trauma > Splenic trauma No hemoperitoneum Diamond et al. J Trauma 2009
Embolization • Increasingly used as a first interventional option vs surgery • Aim stop hemorrhage and minimize ischemia • Proximal vs Distal embolization • Sometimes SPEED is better than OPTIMAL EMBOLIC DEPLOYMENT
Introduction • Organ specific • Spleen Liver Kidney
SPLENIC TRAUMA • Most commonly injured abdominal organ (40%) • Circulation Splenic artery Collaterals (eg short gastric a)
AAST does NOT include active contrast extravasation and vascular injuries
Conservative Rx of low grade AAST injuries is successful in >80-90% of pts Failure of conservative Rx: High grade injuries (up to 70%) Contrast blush on CTA (up to 80%) Vascular injuries on CTA Intervention vs conservative Rx
Indications for embolization • CT indications • Extravasation of contrast • Evidence of vascular injury • Vessel truncation • Pseudoaneurysm • AV fistula • AAST III-V (depending on haemodynamic stability) • Overall success 90% Schnuriger et al. J Trauma 2011
Technique of Embolization • Catheterize proximal splenic artery Sidewinder vs Cobra
Technique of Embolization • Catheterize proximal splenic artery Sidewinder vs Cobra • Decide whether to perform proximal vs distal Embolization
Technique of Embolization • Catheterize proximal splenic artery Sidewinder vs Cobra • Decide whether to perform proximal vs distal Embolization • Distal embolization Microcatheter to site of vascular injury Coils, glue
Technique of Embolization • Catheterize proximal splenic artery Sidewinder vs Cobra • Decide whether to perform proximal vs distal Embolization • Distal embolization Microcatheter to site of vascular injury Coils, glue • Proximal embolization Amplatzer plug vs Coils through selective catheter
Proximal embolization Amplatzer 4 plug for proximal splenic Artery embolization in blunt trauma Ng et al. al JVIR 2012;23:976-9
Similar success • Major complications requiring splenectomy are similar between two groups
Hyposplenism after SAE? • Bessoud et al. J Trauma 2007 • Normal well perfused spleen after prox SAE n=24 • Malhotra et al. J Trauma 2008 • Splenectomy lower CD4+ cells, SAE normal levels, n=8 • Tominaga et al. J Trauma 2009 • No diff in immune markers SAE vs normal patients • Nakae et al. J Trauma 2009 • No diff in immune markers SAE/partial splenectomy vs NOM, n=100 • Malhotra et al. J Trauma 2010 • No diff in immune markers SAE vs NOM, n=23
Splenic traumaTake Home Points • Conservative management for low grade injuries • Embolization indicated for: • contrast extravasation • false aneurysm • AVF • high grade injuries • Proximal embolization is adequate • Residual splenic function post SAE is satisfactory
Introduction • Organ specific Spleen • Liver Kidney
HEPATIC TRAUMA • 2nd most commonly injured organ • Right Lobe > left lobe • Dual blood supply • 80% Portal vein • 20% Hepatic artery • *cystic a & bile ducts
Remember the anatomic variants of the hepatic arteries • Remember the right hepatic artery arises from the SMA in 11%
Conservative Management • Hemodynamically stable patients with no extravasation (even with extensive parenchymal injury) • >70% of all cases • Grade I - III – almost always • Grade IV-V – selective Christmas AB et al. Surgery 2005
Primary Surgery • Grade IV-V + >2000ml fluid requirements • Juxtahepatic vein injuries - IVC • Extra-hepatic portal vein laceration/rupture • Associated stomach/small or large bowel injury Gaarder C, Int J Care Injured 2007 Hagiwara A, J Trauma 2005
Indications for embolization • Blunt or penetrating trauma • Active bleeding/vascular injury on CT • Hemodynamic instability • Large Hemoperitoneum • Persistent bleeding after Surgery Fang JF, J Trauma 2006, 61:547-53
Technique of Embolization • Selective celiac/hepatic angiography to define site of injury • Catheterize common/proper hepatic artery Sidewinder vs Cobra
Technique of Embolization • Selective celiac/hepatic angiography to define site of injury • Catheterize common/proper hepatic artery Sidewinder vs Cobra • Distal >>> proximal embolization
Technique of Embolization • Selective celiac/hepatic angiography to define site of injury • Catheterize common/proper hepatic artery Sidewinder vs Cobra • Distal >>> proximal embolization • Microcatheter to site of injury • Front and back door embolization • Coils glue
Overall success 80-100% • Overall survival 88-100%
Complications of embolization • More likely if extensive injury requiring diffuse embolization • Overall 40-60% • Necrosis 40% • Abscess 17% • Gallbladder necrosis 7% • Biliary leak/biloma 20% Gaarder et al. Injury 2007
Portal vein embolization • May have a role in recurrent hemorrhage • Little published data • High risk of hepatic ischemia
LiverTake Home Points • Conservative management for low grade injuries • even some IV and V • Know your vascular variant anatomy and also perform SMA angiography • Avoid proximal embolization unless absolutely necessary • Watch for complications after embolization CT vs US
Introduction • Organ specific Spleen Liver • Kidney
RENAL TRAUMA • 3rd most common injured organ • Commonest in children
Conservative Management • Growing trend for Grades I-IV • Advantages: • ↓ 3-6x need for nephrectomy • ↓ hospital stay • No increase in complications or long-term hypertension • Success rate: 80 - 100% • Success rate: children > adults Santucci et al. J Trauma 2006
Indications for embolization • Renovascular injuries (unstable) • Stab/penetrating wounds • Increasing transfusion requirements • Active hemorrhage on CTA Constantinos et al. CVIR 2005
Technique of Embolization • Selective angiography to define site of injury Cobra vs Sidewinder vs Sosomni • Distal embolization >>> Proximal embolization
Technique of Embolization • Selective angiography to define site of injury Cobra vs Sidewinder vs Sosomni • Distal embolization >>> Proximal embolization • Microcatheter to site of injury • Embolize feeding artery (back door occlusion not necessary) • Coils • glue
Follow up 3 days 3 weeks 5 weeks
Outcomes of Embolization • Overall success rate ~90-95% • Significant complications <5% Constantinos et al. CVIR 2005
