Post-transplantation refractory ascites is uncommon; however, it can be a serious problem, increasing both morbidity and mortality in patients. Despite scant literature available, splenic artery embolization (SAE) has been shown to be an effective treatment for refractory ascites after cadaveric orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). We report a successful use of therapeutic SAE for refractory ascites post-OLT.
移植后难治性腹水并不常见；然而，它可能是一个严重问题，会增加患者的发病率和死亡率。尽管相关文献较少，但脾动脉栓塞术（SAE）已被证明是尸体原位肝移植（OLT）后难治性腹水的有效治疗方法。我们报告了治疗性SAE成功用于OLT后难治性腹水的病例。
