Splenoportography

Splenoportography is a research method that is used to diagnose diseases of the spleen and its vessels. It consists of injecting a contrast agent into the splenic vein and subsequent x-ray examination of the spleen.

Splenoportography is performed to identify various diseases of the spleen, such as cysts, tumors, abscesses, hematomas and others. In addition, splenoportography can be used to assess the condition of the splenic vessels in liver diseases and portal hypertension.

Before performing splenoportography, it is necessary to prepare the patient. First of all, you need to make sure that the patient has no contraindications to the procedure. It is also necessary to conduct an examination for the presence of infectious diseases and allergic reactions to the contrast agent.

The splenoportography procedure is carried out under the supervision of a radiologist. The patient lies on his back on a special table, and the doctor inserts a catheter into the splenic vein through the femoral vein. A contrast agent is then injected through the catheter, which allows visualization of the spleen and its vessels. After administration of the contrast agent, an X-ray examination of the spleen is performed.

After the procedure, the patient may experience discomfort in the area where the catheter is inserted, but this usually goes away within a few days. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions for caring for the catheter site and not lifting anything heavy for several weeks after the procedure.

In general, splenoportography is a safe and informative research method that allows you to diagnose various diseases of the spleen and assess the condition of its vessels.
