Abstract

The immunologic function of the spleen after successful embolization is not
known; hence, some institutions practice routine immunization against encapsulated
bacteria—S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae and N. meningitidis. We evaluated immunologic
function after embolization and compared this to patients who had undergone splenectomy
and to controls with a history of blunt trauma but no splenic injury.
