What is splenic embolization?
Splenic embolization is a minimally invasive procedure performed by interventional radiologists or surgeons to treat various conditions involving the spleen. During the procedure, tiny particles or coils are inserted into the blood vessels supplying the spleen, blocking or reducing blood flow to specific areas. This technique is used to manage spleen-related issues such as traumatic injuries, splenic artery aneurysms, or hypersplenism. By selectively blocking blood supply, splenic embolization can control bleeding, prevent rupture, or decrease spleen size while preserving its function. This procedure offers an alternative to surgical removal of the spleen and is associated with shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times.
What is arterial embolization?
Arterial embolization is a sophisticated technique employed by interventional radiologists or surgeons to treat various vascular conditions. It involves the insertion of tiny particles or embolic materials into the arterial blood vessels, blocking the flow of blood to specific target areas. This procedure is commonly used to manage conditions such as tumors, vascular malformations, aneurysms, or uncontrollable bleeding. By obstructing the blood supply, arterial embolization can effectively shrink or eliminate the abnormal vascular structures, control bleeding, or prevent further complications. This minimally invasive approach offers significant benefits compared to traditional surgery, including reduced risks, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times.
