Outcomes of proximal versus distal splenic artery embolization after trauma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the outcomes after angioembolization in blunt trauma patients with splenic injuries and to examine specifically the impact of the technique used. Studies evaluating adult trauma patients who sustained blunt splenic injuries managed by angioembolization were systematically evaluated. The following data were required for incl...
متن کاملPercutaneous splenic embolization of the splenic artery in the treatment of hypersplenism.
Percutaneous splenectomy was performed in 6 patients with hypersplenism. Peripheral blood cell counts improved in 5 of the patients. The authors review the indications, technique and complications of percutaneous splenic embolization. It is concluded that medical splenectomy is an effective method particularly to alleviate symptoms of hypersplenism.
متن کاملRandomized clinical trial of splenic radiofrequency ablation versus splenectomy for severe hypersplenism.
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a relatively new treatment for hypersplenism. The results of a randomized clinical trial comparing RFA and splenectomy with 5 years of follow-up are reported. METHODS Fifty-seven patients with hypersplenism due to liver cirrhosis were assigned randomly (in a 1 : 2 ratio) to splenectomy (19 patients) or RFA (38). The RFA group was subdivided accordin...
متن کاملSelective splenic artery embolization for the treatment of thrombocytopenia and hypersplenism in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
BACKGROUND PNH is associated with abdominal vein thrombosis, which can cause splenomegaly and hypersplenism. The combination of thrombosis, splenomegaly, and thrombocytopenia (TST) is challenging because anticoagulants are indicated but thrombocytopenia may increase the bleeding risk. Splenectomy could alleviate thrombocytopenia and reduce portal pressure, but it can cause post-operative thromb...
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...
