Popis: The short- and long-term results of embolization of the splenic artery are analyzed in 143 patients with different diseases of the blood system. Two methods of splenic artery occlusion have been examined: one-stage total and staged embolization of the splenic artery. The course of the postembolization period is considered depending on the type of splenic artery occlusion as is the treatment policy for such conditions. The authors hold that transcatheter embolization of the splenic artery required in some diseases of the blood system is, in terms of its clinical effect, an alternative to splenectomy.
