  ABSTRACT: The purpose of this case report is to discuss the different treatment options available in splenic trauma patients by following the story of Mr. H. I will focus particularly on the role of splenic arterial embolisation (SAE)—an interventional radiological procedure—and how it weighs up against its surgical counterparts. In order to give a balanced view this case report includes a literature review around splenic artery embolisation. This report concludes that when managing splenic trauma, interventional radiology (IR) is a useful tool particularly when used in conjunction with surgery. The future of this field needs to allow SAE to become a stand-alone therapy. Furthermore, research needs to investigate which cohorts of patients are best suited to which intervention such that we can capitalise on the advantages of each intervention for the benefit of all.
