Abstract:

Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect and complications of Partial Splenic Embolization(PSE)in the treatment of
hypersplenism with ethanol as the embolization material. Methods: Ethanol, as an embolization material, was used in the treatment of
32 cases of cirrhosis portal hypertension with PSE with 2.0 mL ethanol for 4 cases, 2.5 mL for 4 cases, 3.0 mL for 3 cases, 2.5 mL for
the rest 21 cases. Efficacy, complications, and quality control effect were analyzed among all cases. Results: 32 cases of PSE were
successful for the first time. The use of 2.5 mL ethanol embolization was more appropriate(average 513 mL, about area 61%)with
less adverse reactions, fewer complications, and no splenic infection. Conclusion: PSE reached a satisfied result using the 2.5 mL
fixed amount of ethanol to treat the hypersplenism with mild side reaction, few complications, simple process and low cost.
