Partial splenic embolization in patients with idiopathic portal hypertension

European Journal of Radiology, 2004
To evaluate the effectiveness of partial splenic embolization (PSE) in patients with idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH) in reducing variceal bleeding episodes, splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia.Six patients (2M, 4F, mean age 30.3 years) with IPH presenting with splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia and recurrent variceal bleeding were treated with PSE using

[Partial splenic embolization in hypersplenism].

Anales espanoles de pediatria, 1985
Partial splenic embolization is a new procedure in the treatment of hypersplenism in infancy. We have used embolization of the spleen as an alternative to splenectomy in a patient with critical hypersplenism. The patient was a 6 year old girl with portal hypertension.

Partial Splenic Embolization for the Treatment of Hereditary Spherocytosis

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2003
Splenectomy is the standard surgical treatment for hereditary spherocytosis, but partial splenic embolization is another potential option. We retrospectively studied the therapeutic effects of partial splenic embolization as a treatment for hereditary spherocytosis.Partial splenic embolization is a safe and effective alternative to splenectomy or ...

Partial Splenic Artery Embolization in Chronic Liver Disease

The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2018
Splenomegaly is a common sequela of cirrhosis and is frequently associated with decreased hematologic indices including thrombocytopenia and leukopenia. Partial splenic artery embolization (PSE) has been demonstrated to effectively increase hematologic indices in cirrhotic patients with splenomegaly.

Clinical benefits of partial splenic embolization for cancer patients

Hepatology Research
AbstractPartial splenic embolization (PSE) has developed as an alternative to surgical splenectomy, mainly to improve hypersplenism and esophagogastric varices in cirrhotic patients. We proposed the novel concept that splenic infarction volume, rather than the splenic infarction ratio, is essential for patients receiving PSE.
