Abstract
Mortality was significantly lower (9%) compared to literature (50%). Although patients with RAI experienced a higher mortality, no independent predictors were found. We demonstrated that the obsolete cardiac definition of “asplenia” and “polysplenia” instead of RAI and LAI is misleading, because of the high variability of the splenic phenotype among patients of both groups.
