Splenic artery embolization in a patient with advanced Caroli’s syndrome complicated by portal hypertension: a case report
This case highlights the role of splenic artery embolization in managing hypersplenism associated with Caroli's disease. Despite improvement in platelet count, post-embolization syndrome remains a significant risk. Early liver transplantation should be considered in patients with advanced Caroli's syndrome to improve long-term outcomes.
