How Partial Splenic Artery Embolization (PSE) is performed
Partial splenic artery embolization is performed under image guidance and analgesia/anesthesia monitoring. A catheter is inserted through the femoral or radial artery to selectively enter the splenic artery. A common approach is to inject particles, coils, or colloidal materials into the target branches to reduce splenic blood flow while preserving partial splenic perfusion, thereby alleviating hypersplenism. Early postoperative monitoring of pain, fever, white blood cell and platelet changes, and assessment of infection and splenic infarction-related risks. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
