Treatment of Hypersplenism by Partial Splenic Embolization Through Gastric Collaterals.
We report a case of Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with associated hypersplenism, that was referred to us for partial splenic embolization (PSE) as the patient was not a surgical candidate for splenectomy. Initially, we were not successful in catheterizing the splenic artery from the celiac trunk due to significant atherosclerotic disease. Therefore, we successfully managed to access the di...
متن کاملRole of partial splenic arterial embolization for hypersplenism in patients with liver cirrhosis and thrombocytopenia.
BACKGROUND Hypersplenism is traditionally treated by surgical splenectomy. Transcatheter ablation of splenic parenchyma is an alternative treatment modality. METHODS We evaluated the efficacy and safety of partial splenic arterial embolization in 10 patients with chronic liver disease and hypersplenism with thrombocytopenia (platelet count <80,000/microL). RESULTS At six months follow up, m...
متن کاملPartial splenic embolization for hypersplenism in cirrhotic patients. A case series.
The prognosis of liver cirrhosis depends on the presence of its major complications as well as on other factors such as hypersplenism with thrombocytopenia. Partial splenic embolization is an effective interventional procedure performed in liver cirrhosis complicated with portal hypertension to improve the low platelet count. This technique represents an efficient alternative to splenectomy, wh...
متن کاملPartial splenic artery embolization for the management of hypersplenism in cirrhosis.
Fever uncontrolled by paracetamol is a common and disturbing issue to many parents. Current evidence does not show any significant benefit from sponging which on the contrary may cause discomfort to the child [1]. Similarly, simple febrile convulsions do not require routine administration of anticonvulsants. Cough remedies in the form of variously concocted antitussives and mucolytics are no be...
متن کاملPercutaneous transhepatic embolization of gastroesophageal varices combined with partial splenic embolization for the treatment of variceal bleeding and hypersplenism.
This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic results of percutaneous transhepatic embolization of gastroesophageal varices combined with partial splenic embolization in patients with liver cirrhosis, and to explore the role of this minimally invasive treatment as an alternative to surgery. 25 patients with liver cirrhosis were received percutaneous transhepatic embolization of gastroesophageal v...
