Twenty-one cases of hypersplenism with portal hypertension were treated with partial splenic embolization. The results were that spleens were shrink and the condition of white blood cells, platelets, and prothrombin time of the patients were obviously improved. We conclude that the appropriate antibiotics, superselective catheterization, and the management of postoperation are necessary; the volume of embolism is limited from 50% to 75% of the spleen. This technique has the features of steady therapeutic effect, safety, and microtrauma.
