Abstract:
The hypersplenism is a common disease caused by cirrhosis of different reasons. With the development of interventional radiology, partial splenic embolization (PSE) has been widely applied in clinical practice, especially in the treatment of secondary hypersplenism. There is a variety of embolization materials used in PSE, each has its own merits. Because of the anatomical characteristics of the splenic artery, the embolized volume and extent of the spleen will directly affect the therapeutic results. Peripheral blood test, immunological function, hemodynamics and hepatic function can be used to evaluate the effects of PSE. Owing to a variety of reasons, there are still some shortages of PSE in clinical practice, which are badly in need of being improved.
