AB The  incidence  of  solid  organ  injury  after  trauma  varies  significantly  in  the  literature,  depending  on  the  mechanism  and  the  solid  organ  of  interest.  The  liver  remains  one  of  the  most  commonly  injured  organs  after  blunt  abdominal  trauma,  followed  closely  by  the  spleen.1,2  Over  time,  management  of  solid  organ  injury  has  shifted  from  operative  to  nonoperative  management  (NOM)  in  select  cases,  leading  to  decreased  morbidity  and  high  rates  of  success.  Angioembolization  (AE)  techniques  were  introduced  with  the  aim  of  preventing  ongoing  hemorrhage  requiring  surgery  and  are  often  used  to  supplant  NOM.  However,  the  key  to  success  in  each  case  is  appropriate  patient  selection.
