Patient's question:
How to treat complications after splenic artery embolization? Is it necessary to go to the hospital for drainage?Doctor's answer:
The main complications after splenic artery embolization are pain, as the brain edema and suppuration of the spleen 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 suppuration after splenic embolization, the patient may experience a drop in body temperature.
