1.1 General anatomical and vascularisation description
Hc : common hepatic artery, Gg : left gastric artery, Gc : short gastric arteries , S: splenic artery, PD : dorsal pancreatic artery, AMS: superior mesenteric artery
1 - phrenico-splenic ligament(lgt), 2 - phrenico-colic lgt, 3 - spleno-colic lgt, 4 - spleno-gastric lgt, 5 - reno-splenic lgt, 6 - pancreatico-splenic lgt
E : stomach, Rt : spleen, Rn : kidney, P : pancreas,
C : colon
Spleen vascularization, fixation and relationships with the other abdominal organs
- lymphoid organ, left hypochondrium
- friable texture easily torned
- held in the abdominal cavity by different ligament
- red and white pulp with different functions : hemolytic and immune
- splenic artery : terminal branch of the coeliac trunk
- colleteral branches : it end with two branches creating two lobes
- lobar artery -> segmental artery in the hilum
- Drained by trabecular veins -> splenic vein
- ONLY efferent lymphatic vessels

1.2 Spleen scanography, what is a “blush” ?
Focal hyperattenuation isodense to the main arterial vessels :
-> Active arterial extravasation within a haematoma
-> called "BLUSH"
-> embolisation if needed
Introduction

1.4 Synchrotron Imaging
1- Utility
- resolution and sensitivity down to te cellular level
- imaging whole human body in detail
2- Mecanism
- source of Xrays producted by electrons of high energy
- based on detection of attenuation or phase shift of Xrays
- lower then higher resolution
- Sequential acquisition
- Two dimensionnal -> three dimansional model
Introduction
.01
1.5 Spleen trauma
- Most frequent trauma-related injury
-> intense hemorrage
- Classification according to AAST Spleen trauma
- Hemodynamic stability + blunt splenic trauma -> nonoperative management
--> surveillance +/- Angiography (AG) and angioembolization (AE)
- Splenic blush : predictor of failure of NOM ?
- Unstable patients : operative management
THERAPEUTIC DILEMMA
Introduction
.01
NOM strategy
- Improving CT imaging quality + time intervall between techniques
--> blush cannot be found on AG- Absence of blush on initial CT scan, AE ?
- Unclear recommendations for AG of minor and moderate lesions with blush on CT
--> simple monitoring ?Complications
- of Angioembolization
- of NOM failure
- of splenectomy
Other Factors
- Intensive monitoring available
- age, ISS score, hemodynamic status, anatomic derangement, associated injuries.....

1.6 Hemerheology and hemostasis
HEMOSTASIS
HEMERHEOLOGY
MAJOR STEPS
- Vascular spasm
- Plug
-Coagulation factors
- Retraction of the clot
- Vascular repair
- Fibrinolysis
= Mechanical rules of fluids applied to blood

4.5 Hemorheology and Hemostasis
Primary haemostasis
- depends on frequency of collisions between platelets and the vascular breach--> platelet concentration ,hematocrit,shear forces.
- Blood : maximum velocity at the centre, laminar flow
- shear force : relative speed between the blood layers
- Shear forces : ++ arterioles
and
vasoconstriction : Sympathetic nerves with the arteries
- Circulatory slowing : primary hemostasis + vasoconstriction + resistance of tissues
(mesh structure ?)- Veinous splenic sinusoid : two sphincters on each -> regulate the splenic circulation
Coagulation
Hematoma
- Expansion of a haematoma : resistance adjacent tissues
- Pressure on bleeding vessel > haemorrhage = self limitation
Discussion
.05
- Various means of analysis :
- synchrotron imaging advantages :- histology advantages:- traumatized spleen experiment
Strenghts
Flaws
- No synchrotron imaging post trauma
- traumatized spleen experiment
- Liver reference study --> reproducibility
- Pressure + Trauma
- Inclusion criteria
- Leakage
- Single spleen
.06
Conclusion
- Histology/synchrotron + hemerheology, what we learned ?
- 2 types of circulation
- high density of small caliber vessels (shear forces) + opened circulation : efficiency of the primary hemostasis
- sphincters + sympathetic innervation → low blood velocity → fast primary haemostasis
- control of the hematoma : resistance of the tissues + shear forces + myocytes in the capsule
