The Effects of Endoscopy Combined With Partial Splenic Artery Embolization in the Treatment of Cirrhosis With Esophageal and Gastric Varices Complicated With Hyperplenism or Splenomegaly:A Randomized Controlled Study.
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of partial splenic artery embolization combined with endoscopic treatment and endoscopic treatment alone on portal hypertension in cirrhosis with hyperplenism or splenomegaly in esophageal and gastric varices.
• Patients aged between 18 and 75 years
• Patients who had recovered from an episode of VH or patients who had survived from acute VH and there was no bleeding for consecutive 5 days
• Patients with a diagnosis of liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension on clinical examination, laboratory test, and imaging or histological examination
• Patients with hypersplenism and thrombocytopenia (platelets \< 100,000/µL).
• Patients aged between 18 and 75 years
• Moderate to severe esophageal (and/or) gastric varices
• Patients with a diagnosis of liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension on clinical examination, laboratory test, and imaging or histological examination
• Patients with hypersplenism and thrombocytopenia (platelets \< 100,000/µL).
• Patients aged between 18 and 75 years
• Acute esophageal (and/or) gastric varices rupture and bleed \<5 days
• Patients with a diagnosis of liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension on clinical examination, laboratory test, and imaging or histological examination
• Patients with hypersplenism and thrombocytopenia (platelets \< 100,000/µL).
