Objective To evaluate percutaneous injection of hemostatic agents under the guidance of contrast-enhanced sonography(CEUS) in controlling hemorrhage from severe splenic trauma. Methods Eight patients with splenic traumas of grade Ⅲ, Ⅳ were consecutively enrolled in this study. Percutaneous injection of hemocoagulase atrox and α-cyanoacrylate was performed by CEUS-guidance in all patients. Ultrasound examination was performed at 1,3,7 and 14 days after focal injection. Vital signs and hemoglobin (Hb) level were recorded. Results After the injection,immediate CEUS demonstrated that active bleeding from the injury sites disappeared. From 30 minutes after the injection arterial blood pressure began to ascend ( P <0. 05), and heart rate decreased to the normal level after the treatment ( P <0.05). Hb decreased at first and then gradually increased to the normal level. Conclusions Pereutaneous injection of hemoeoagulase atrox and α-cyanoacrylate under the guidance of CEUS can effectively control bleeding from a severe splenic trauma. CEUS can be helpful to the diagnosis of the suspected splenic trauma and to ensure hemostatic materials to be injected exactly into injury sites.

Objective To determine whether hemostatic agents directly injected into injury sites under the guidance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)can effectively control hemorrhage from hepatic or splenic trauma. Methods Healthy adult dogs were impacted by a impactor to create hepatic or splenic trauma. Among 32 dogs,28 had hepatic or splenic injury of grade Ⅲ~Ⅳ according to Injury Scale of the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma(AAST),which were divided into two groups,the treatment group and the control. In the treatment group,hemocoagulase and α-cyanoacrylate were injected respectively into the injury site and transected micro-vessel tinder the guidance of CEUS,while in the control group,normal saline was injected. Results All animals of the two groups survived after the injection. CEUS demonstrated that active hemorrhage disappeared in treatment group but still existed in the control group.In the treatment group,laparotomy showed that hepatic or splenic injury had been covered and adhered with clot and glue membrane of hemostatic agents and free intraperitoneal blood volume was significantly less than that in the control group(P=0.000),while in the control group injury bleeding did not stop after injection. Conclusions Hemostatic agents injected under the guidance of CEUS can effectively control hemorrhage from hepatic or splenic trauma of grade Ⅲ~Ⅳ. This therapy was simple,convenient and effective. It may be performed immediately after hepatic or splenic injury was diagnosed.
