Celiac arteriography following percutaneous splenoportography
Radiology
|January 1, 1975
Summary
Splenic arteriography detected splenic hematoma in 3 of 14 patients after splenoportography. The remaining 11 patients showed no arteriographic abnormalities, indicating the procedure
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Vascular Imaging
- Gastrointestinal Imaging
Background:
- Splenoportography is a diagnostic procedure.
- Complications of splenoportography require careful monitoring.
- Splenic hematoma is a potential complication.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the utility of splenic arteriography in detecting splenic hematoma immediately after splenoportography.
- To assess the incidence of splenic hematoma following splenoportography.
Main Methods:
- Splenic arteriography was performed on 14 patients.
- The procedures were conducted immediately following splenoportography.
Main Results:
- Arteriographic evidence of splenic hematoma was observed in 3 out of 14 patients.
- No arteriographic abnormalities were detected in the remaining 11 patients.
Conclusions:
- Splenic arteriography is a valuable tool for diagnosing splenic hematoma post-splenoportography.
- The incidence of splenic hematoma following splenoportography may be significant.
