Partial Splenic embolization combined with endoscopic variceal ligation in variceal rebleeding prevention among liver cirrhosis patients complicated with hypersplenism, thrombocytopenia, and esophagogastric variceal hemorrhage: a prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with liver cirrhosis often suffer from complications such as splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, and esophagogastric variceal hemorrhage, necessitating effective preventive measures. This study aimed to investigate the outcome of partial splenic embolization (PSE) combined with endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) in variceal rebleeding prevention among liver cirrhosis patients complicated with hypersplenism, thrombocytopenia, and esophagogastric variceal hemorrhage.

Methods

This prospective observational study enrolled liver cirrhosis patients complicated with hypersplenism, thrombocytopenia, and esophagogastric variceal hemorrhage who received PSE combined with EVL (PSE & EVL) or EVL alone based on informed patient's choice at the Affiliated Wenshan Hospital
