Patient's question:
How is the treatment for complications after splenic artery embolization? Is it necessary to go to the hospital for drainage?Doctor's answer:
The main complication after splenic artery embolization is pain, as splenic cerebral edema and purulent changes can cause patients to experience relatively severe pain. If the patient cannot tolerate the pain, many blood-activating drugs can be used to alleviate the symptoms. Generally, the pain will gradually decrease after about 72 hours. Additionally, due to the recurrence of aseptic purulence after splenic embolization, the patient may experience a drop in body temperature.
