Background To evaluate the role of partial splenic artery embolization in corpuscular correction in cirrhotic patients. Results Bleeding tendency was experienced in two thirds of patients (66.7%) and anemia in 63.3%. Splenic size ranged from 14.3 to 22 cm. PV diameter ranged from 11 to 18 mm. The mean platelet at the pre-operative laboratory was 34.9 ± 10.3 × 10 3 , corrected to 137.6 ± 37.1 × 10 3 within 1 month follow-up, and then 140 × 10 3 after 6 months. The mean of RBCs was 3.6 ± 0.3 × 10 6 , then 4 ± 0.5 × 10 6 at 1 month follow-up period. WBCs showed correction at the early post-operative period, 3.3 ± 0.4 × 10 3 , compared to 5.4 ± 1.4 × 10 3 at 1 month. Reduction in splenic size was achieved by 3–6 months. All patients (100%) had post-embolization syndrome. Gelfoam was used in 20 patients, PVA was used in 5 patients, and microspheres were used in 5 patients. Antiviral treatment regimen was started after an adequate rise in corpuscular counts in all patients. Conclusion Partial splenic artery embolization is an effective alternative method to surgery in treatment of hypersplenism particularly in cirrhotic patients prepared for antiviral treatment with correction of the associated thrombocytopenia.
