Partial splenic embolization in the treatment of hypersplenism

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1979
Transcatheter embolization of the spleen has been associated with serious complications, such as splenic abscess, rupture of the spleen, pneumonia, and septicemia. These complications, with their grave consequences, have prevented the use of this procedure as an alternative to operative splenectomy in selected cases.

Comparison of total splenic artery embolization and partial splenic embolization for hypersplenism

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2013
Purpose To evaluate whether total splenic artery embolization (TSAE) for patients with hypersplenism delivers better long-term outcomes than partial splenic embolization (PSE). Materials and Methods Sixty-one patients with hypersplenism eligible for TSAE (n = 27, group A) or PSE (n =34, group B) were enrolled into the trial, which included ...

Changes in splenic volume after partial splenic embolization in children

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1996
The authors studied changes in splenic volume after partial splenic embolization (PSE) in children who had thrombocytopenia caused by splenomegaly.Five children with hypersplenism (ages of 1, 6, 7, 10, and 14 years) underwent PSE. The follow-up period ranged from 1 month to 8 years 9 months.

Partial splenic embolization: Experience in 136 patients

World Journal of Surgery, 1985
AbstractWe report our experience with transcatheter partial splenic embolization (PSE) in 136 patients; 124 patients were treated in association with renal allograft protocols, 8 patients for hematologic disorders, and 4 patients for portal hypertension and esophageal varices. A total of 15 patients have died over the 1–8 year follow‐up period.

Partial splenic embolization for hypersplenism in renal transplantation

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1982
Immunosuppressive therapy is necessary in the treatment and prevention of rejection in renal transplant recipients. Unfortunately, these patients may become intolerant to this therapy when it is complicated by hypersplenism with leukopenia and/or thrombocytopenia.

Partial splenic embolization in children with hereditary spherocytosis

European Journal of Haematology, 2007
AbstractObjectives:  Although total splenectomy is able to reduce clinical symptoms in patients with hereditary spherocytosis (HS), splenectomized patients are at risk to develop overwhelming bacterial infections and, to a lesser extent, thromboembolic complications.

Partial splenic embolization in the management of thalassemia major

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1982
Six patients with beta-thalassemia major underwent partial splenic embolization as an alternative to splenectomy. One patient required 2 embolizations. All 6 patients showed a marked reduction in transfusion requirements. Transfusion requirements fell to a level within that reported by other authors following total splenectomy, although significantly ...

Complications of Partial Splenic Embolization in Cirrhotic Patients

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 2002
In recent years, partial splenic embolization (PSE) has been widely used in patients with cirrhosis and hypersplenism caused by portal hypertension. We investigated the complications associated with PSE cases seen in our hospital. Seventeen cases of liver cirrhosis that had undergone PSE were examined to investigate the complications associated with it.

Partial splenic embolization: long-term outcome

Langenbeck's Archives of Surgery, 2003
Partial splenic embolization (PSE) was introduced in the 1980s. We studied the long-term follow-up results of a PSE-treated patient cohort.Twenty-six severely ill patients (median age 63.5 years) were treated with a graded PSE a total of 52 times, mainly due to bleeding esophageal varices and thrombocytopenia.

Partial splenic embolization for the treatment of hypersplenism in cirrhosis

Hepatology, 1993
Hypersplenism is of great relevance in the management of cirrhosis because of the widespread use of myelodepressant drugs such as interferon or antineoplastic agents. Because no standard therapy exists for this complication, we have evaluated the efficacy and risks of splenic embolization in the treatment of hypersplenism in ...
