Simultaneous Combined Balloon-occluded Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration and Partial Splenic Embolization for Portosystemic Shunts

This study indicates that concomitant PSE may help diminish the increase in portal venous pressure after B-RTO for portosystemic shunts, and may allow a reduction in the volume of hazardous sclerosing agent used. It is worth evaluating the efficacy of simultaneous B-RTO and PSE in a prospective study.
