No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to compare microwave thermal coagulation and partial splenic embolization in the management of hypersplenism in patients with cirrhosis.

This study will be conducted on 40 patients with liver cirrhosis associated with splenomegaly and hypersplenism. The study will be done at the National Hepatology and Tropical Medicine Research Institute.

Conditions

  • Hypersplenism

Interventions

DEVICE

Microwave Thermal Coagulation

Microwave thermal coagulation of splenic parenchyma.

DEVICE

Partial Splenic Embolization

Femoral artery approach will be used for splenic artery catheterization with the tip of the catheter always well advanced selectively into the splenic artery. Embolizing agent will be injected in small increments. Arteriography in between divided doses will be done to document the extent of devascularization.
