title: [Endovascular occlusion of the spleen in pediatric practice].
abstract: A procedure has been developed for partial X-ray endovascular occlusion of the spleen in children. Splenic occlusion has been performed in 74 patients with various blood diseases and portal hypertension for 4 years. Indications for partial "disconnecting" of the splenic parenchyma have been identified depending on a specific disease. Its low traumatism, prevention of septic complications by using selective intestinal flora decontamination and choosing antibiotics at an individual level allow splenic occlusion to be made in young children. In patients with portal hypertension, partial splenic occlusion leads to decompression in the portal vein system and improves blood ejection along the natural vascular anastomoses.
