Interventional Radiology: Partial Splenic Embolization

2019
Partial splenic embolization (PSE) is an effective treatment for complications associated with hypersplenism and portal hypertension, such as esophagogastric varices, pancytopenia, portal hypertensive gastropathy, and ascites. PSE is indicated for all complications associated with hypersplenism and portal hypertension.

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 Artery Embolization to Treat Portal Hypertension

Digestive Disease Interventions, 2022
AbstractPortal hypertension (PH) commonly occurs in the setting of underlying liver disease and can precipitate variceal bleeding and ascites among other complications. Traditionally, PH is managed with medication or lifestyle changes with refractory cases treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts or splenectomy.

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 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.

Hand-assisted laparoscopic hepatectomy after partial splenic embolization

Surgical Endoscopy, 2003
The case of a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma and thrombocytopenia secondary to liver cirrhosis who underwent successful hand-assisted laparoscopic hepatectomy after partial splenic embolization is described. A 67-year-old man with severe liver cirrhosis was admitted for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

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.

Partial Splenic Embolization with Y-Shaped Silicone Particles

Acta Radiologica, 1994
We have developed an embolizing material consisting of Y-shaped silicone particles for partial splenic embolization. Wide spaces for blood flow are left around the particles when these are lodged in arterial branches. We embolized one kidney in each of 3 dogs with the particles and observed a slowly induced occlusion of renal arterial branches during ...

Partial Splenic Embolization Guided by Blood Flow Measurements

Investigative Radiology, 1989
The author used blood flow measurements to guide partial splenic embolization procedures in five patients. The measurements were obtained by time density analysis of contrast medium injections in the splenic artery using digital subtraction angiographic techniques and modified software.

Partial splenic embolization in children with hypersplenism.

Radiology, 1985
Partial splenic embolization (PSE) was successfully accomplished in 10 of 11 children, aged 2-9, who had portal hypertension or variceal bleeding. Nine of the 11 children had undergone portoenterostomy (Kasai operation) for biliary atresia, and two had portal vein thrombosis.
