چکیده
A case of partial splenic embolisation (PSE) that was performed in a girl with severe leucothrombocytopenia due to hypersplenism is described. Treatment with PSE is a safe and effective alternative to splenectomy that prevents clinical complications due to haematological disorders and improves hypersplenism before liver transplantation.

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 کاملLong-term efficacy of partial splenic embolization in children.
PURPOSE To elucidate the role of partial splenic embolization (PSE) procedures, long-term outcome was assessed in terms of the recurrence of thrombocytopenia. METHODS A retrospective study was performed after 41 PSE procedures in 36 patients for hypersplenism owing to portal hypertension. The underlying disease was biliary atresia in 32 patients, extrahepatic portal obstruction in 3, and idio...
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...
