Partial embolization as re-treatment of hypersplenism after unsuccessful splenic artery ligation

Figure 2 Partial splenic embolization therapy. A: Partial splenic embolization (PSE) therapy through the collateral artery of dorsal pancreatic artery; B: PSE therapy through the left gastro-epiploic artery; C: Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed that ischemic infarction (black arrow) was seen in the spleen 2 wk after PSE; D-F: Follow-up abdominal CT was performed after 4 mo (D) and 9 mo (E and F), showing that the size of the spleen and infarction (black arrows) progressively decreased.
