Overview
Splenectomy is recommended for all patients with bleeding varices associated with isolated splenic vein thrombosis. Splenectomy eliminates venous collateral outflow and decompresses surrounding varices.
Surgery
Splenectomy is recommended for all patients with bleeding varices associated with isolated splenic vein thrombosis. Splenectomy eliminates venous collateral outflow and decompresses surrounding varices.
Splenic arterial embolization:[1][2][3][4][5]
- Rarely studied, associated with splenic abscess, and is recommended for patients with high operative risk and patients with diffuse metastatic disease.
