Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of splenic arterial embolization on coagulation function in patients with liver cirrhosis and hypersplenism. Methods In the experimental group, 49 patients with hypersplenism due to cirrhosis admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College from January 2016 to July 2018 were selected. The changes of PT, APTT, INR, TT and FBG before and within 3 weeks after splenic artery embolization were analyzed retrospectively. In the control group, 40 patients with cirrhosis and hypersplenism were treated conservatively. Results The levels of APTT were (46.063±11.477) s before treatment and (40.243±8.973) s after treatment; The levels of FBG were (155.346±39.930) mg/ml before treatment and (267.289±101.644) mg/ml after treatment; The levels of TT were (22.860±2.749) s before the treatment and (20.600±2.437) s after treatment. The changes of APTT, FBG and TT were statistically significant before and after operation in the experimental group (P < 0.05), but there was no statistical difference in PT and INR (P > 0.05). Conclusions Splenic arterial embolization can reduce the pressure of portal vein system, alleviate symptoms of hypersplenism, and improves the coagulation function of cirrhotic patients with splenic hypersplenism.
