Methods Twenty four patients with hypersplenism caused by schistosomiasis were treated with peripheral partly splenic embolization with gelf.oam. The counts of white blood cell(WBC) and platelet (PLT) were compared between pre-and post-splenic embolization. Results The extent of splenic embolization were 50% - 75%(mean 59.24%) with post-therapeutic follow-up of 6 months ~ 2 years, showing significant increase of WBC count with preoperative, peak and the latest follow-up counts as (2.15?0.67)?109/L, (12.36?3.24)?109/L and (5.65?1.38)?109/L respectively(t = 11.08, P
