Abstract

Introduction. Liver cirrhosis may be followed by complications such as esophageal varices for 30 days mortality rate up to 15-20%. Partial splenic embolism (PSE) or partial splenic embolization has been developed as a safe and effective alternative therapy for managing bleeding in esophageal varices. This study aims to determine the outcome of PSE in patients with liver cirrhosis with esophageal varices. Method. In this review, the literature search proceeded on three online databases (Cochrane Library, MEDLINE (PubMed), and ScienceDirect) according to PRISMA protocol. Through selections, six articles were included, and all were the reports. Results. Of six reports, three were focused on liver function tests, and the other three were focused on bleeding varices. All were comparing before and after embolization. Conclusion. There is a significant difference in serum cholinesterase and a decreasing incidence of varices bleeding before and after PSE treatment. However, there was no significant difference in serum albumin before and after PSE.

Abstract

Introduction. Chronic limb–threatening ischemia (CLTI) can cause rest pain in the lower extremities and the formation of ulcers or gangrene. Revascularization, which can be done using open surgery or endovascular procedures, is the first line of treatment in CLTI management. CLTI patients at CMGH usually came with advanced conditions and high re–amputation rates even after revascularization. This study aimed to determine factors associated with the outcome of endovascular angioplasty, especially ulcer healing. Method. A cross–sectional study was conducted at CMGH, enrolling CLTI patients with Rutherford grades 5 and 6 who underwent angioplasty. Age, gender, history of smoking, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and diabetes mellitus were the independent variables of interest in this study. The dependent variable was ulcer healing, a clinical assessment after angioplasty assessed as complete ulcer epithelialization within four months after the procedure. Results. In 133 study subjects, it was found that 60.9% of patients underwent complete epithelialization. Factors that affect ulcer healing in CLTI patients include gender, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes mellitus. The factor with the strongest association with ulcer healing after endovascular angioplasty based on the logistic regression test is diabetes mellitus. Conclusion. Factors that have a significant association with ulcer healing in patients with CLTI include gender, smoking, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, CKD, and diabetes. The factor that was considered to have the strongest association was diabetes mellitus
