AI Article Synopsis
- A 29-year-old woman with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome experienced significant enlargement of her spleen (massive splenomegaly).
- The authors used a unique "double embolization technique" that combined two methods to block blood flow to the spleen before surgery.
- This preoperative procedure made it easier to perform the open splenectomy successfully.
Article Abstract
The authors describe a case of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) with massive splenomegaly in a 29-year-old woman. Preoperative splenic artery embolization using the "double embolization technique" (a combination of distal selective splenic artery embolization and proximal splenic artery occlusion) facilitated open splenectomy.
