Article Synopsis
  • A study examined the clinical outcomes of patients with blunt splenic injuries who received transarterial embolization (TAE), focusing on their hemodynamic status (stable vs unstable).
  • The research analyzed data from 38 adult patients treated at two centers from 2011 to 2022, comparing the survival rates, rebleeding incidents, and need for splenectomy between hemodynamically stable (HDS) and unstable (HDU) groups.
  • Results showed a high survival discharge rate for both groups (88.2% in HDU and 100% in HDS), but highlighted the need for more studies to assess the effectiveness of TAE compared to traditional surgery for HDU patients.

  • * This mutation loss as a form of resistance to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is considered uncommon and suggests that further research is necessary to understand this mechanism.
