Abstract:
Objective To investigate the safety treatment of partially embolizing spleenomegaly in children. Methods Forty two children aged 1-15 with spleenomegaly were treated through staged partial splenic embolization (PSE). The first embolized scope of spleen was 30%-40% with the second being 30%-40% at 1 or 2 months later in order to achieve the goal of getting rid of hypersplenia and improving the splenic function. Results The adverse effects of splenic embolisation were slight with short duration of fever and stomachache and with efficient control of hypersplenia and its correlative basic diseases except one case of splenic abscess.Conclusions Spleenomegaly in Children can be more safely and more efficiently cured through staged PSE.
