Partial splenic embolization

Hepatology Research, 2007
Partial splenic embolization (PSE) is a non‐surgical procedure developed to treat hypersplenism as a result of hepatic disease and thus avoid the disadvantages of splenectomy. A femoral artery approach is used for selective catheterization of the splenic artery.

Partial Splenic Embolization in Hypersplenism

Acta Paediatrica, 1988
ABSTRACT. Four patients with portal hypertension, oesophageal varices and severe hypersplenism were treated by partial splenic embolization. All showed improvement of blood and platelet counts early in the postoperative period. Three months after embolization IgA and C3 levels increased significantly.

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 painful splenomegaly

Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology, 1987
Therapeutic splenic embolization has been commonly performed for hypersplenism, tumor palliation, and other indications, but has not been reported as a therapy specifically for pain relief. We describe 1 patient with chronic pain secondary to severe splenomegaly in whom surgery was contraindicated. Selective partial splenic embolization achieved a pain-

Partial splenic embolization in children with hypersplenism

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1994
As an alternative to surgical splenectomy, partial splenic embolization was performed in seven children for hypersplenism manifested by splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and erythrocyte hemolysis. Within a few days, platelet and leukocyte counts rose significantly in all patients and were maintained in six of seven patients during a follow-up

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.

Severe complications following partial splenic embolization

The British Journal of Radiology, 1982
We read with interest Dr. Spigos' comments on our paper Vujic & Lauver, 1981). We would like to reply to his two major comments: first on the differences in our patient populations and second on embolization technique.

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.

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 ...
