title: [Late results of ligation of the splenic artery and its embolization in portal hypertension syndrome].
abstract: From study of the results of exclusion of the spleen in 87 patients with portal hypertension by ligation of the splenic artery (47) or its truncal embolization (40) with a Gianturko-type spiral, the authors conclude that in some cases these operations reduce portal pressure, manifestations of hypersplenism, and risk of bleeding, but do not guarantee that they will not develop. Ligation of the splenic artery or its truncal embolization is justified as an independent operative intervention when decompression anastomoses cannot be formed or the risk of their performance is extremely high.
