Coils versus gelatin particles with or without intraarterial antibiotics for partial splenic embolization: a comparative evaluation.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy, complications, and inflammatory levels in partial splenic embolization (PSE) with coils or gelatin sponge (GS) particles with or without intraarterial antibiotic agents.

Materials And Methods: Forty-four patients with hypersplenism treated by PSE were assessed. GS particles were used in 31 patients, and coils were used in 13 patients.
