Abstract

SUMMARY


Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of partial splenic embolization (PSE) in treatment of hypersplenism due to cirrhosis.
Patients and Methods: From December 2014 to February 2017, 17 cirrhotic patients with splenomegaly who have thrombocytopenia were treated with PSE in Viet Duc Hospital.
Results: PSE was successfully performed in 17/17 patients with increased thrombocytes counts in the number post - PSE.
The splenic infarction volume < 50%, 50-70% and > 70% are achieved in 5/17 patients, 10/17 patients and 2/17 patients respectively. 17/17 patients experienced post-embolization
syndrome, 4/17 patients developed pleural effusion, 5/17 patients developed ascites, portal vein thrombosis was found in 1/17
patients.
Conclusion: PSE is a safe and efficient treatment of hypersplenism in patients with cirrhosis and thrombocytopenia.
