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 کاملPartial Splenic Embolization as a Bridge to Total Knee Replacement for a Patient with Severe Thrombocytopenia due to Cirrhosis and Splenic Sequestration
Medical splenectomy by embolization was originally used to attenuate bleeding from varices in a man with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Despite the procedure being described over 40 years ago with remarkable improvement in its safety profile and clinical outcomes since, it is still used with variable frequency because of concerns that the risk is high and the results are transient. We prese...
متن کاملTreatment 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...
