Conclusion and results:
Splenic artery embolization was the most common treatment modality for
our SASS patients. Our patients had significant clinical improvement
after their treatment. However, more novel treatments need to be
investigated in the future. Imaging modalities such as ultrasound,
arteriogram and venograms with pressure measurements were used to
diagnose this syndrome. An angiogram can be used after the procedure to
ensure prompt flow in successful cases.
