Evaluation of the effect of partial splenic embolization on platelet values for liver cirrhosis patients with thrombocytopenia

Table 1 Effects of partial splenic embolization on platelet values

Basal values(× 103/μL)	Embolizationarea (%)	After 2 wk(× 103/μL)	After 1 year(× 103/μL)
Low embolization
56	15	69	66
54	25	66	51
Average platelet value		67.5	58.5
High embolization
60	35	1751	1361
40	45	2031	1581
67	35	2581	1401
61	30	2121	1851
58	30	2071	1491
64	30	71	59
48	50	2501	1951
51	65	1591	1411
Average platelet value		1922	1452

¹Means significant differences in platelet values between basal values and post-embolization values;

²Means significant differences in platelet values between low and high embolization areas groups.
