Splenic artery embolization for the treatment of spontaneous splenic rupture in hemophilia A: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive inherited bleeding disorder caused by genetic defects in specific proteins involved in blood coagulation. It is classified into two main types: hemophilia A and hemophilia B. The primary clinical characteristic of hemophilia is prolonged spontaneous and/or traumatic bleeding, which most commonly occurs within the musculoskeletal system. However, spontaneous splenic rupture in adults with hemophilia A has been reported infrequently. This rare but life-threatening condition necessitates prompt diagnosis and intervention. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of splenic artery embolization (SAE) in patients with hemophilia A who present with spontaneous splenic rupture and maintain hemodynamic stability.
