ABSTRACT
The effectiveness of splenic embolization (SE) in treating refractory immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) remains uncertain. A systematic literature review was undertaken to assess the effectiveness and safety of SE in treating both paediatric and adult patients with ITP. We conducted an extensive search employing predefined criteria. We extracted platelet counts at baseline and at multiple intervals following SE, along with details of the proportion of embolized spleen parenchyma and the proportion of patients exhibiting complete or partial platelet count responses. We identified nine eligible reports for the analysis of effectiveness (228 patients) and 15 reports for the safety analysis (151 patients). Pooled estimates of complete response (platelet count >100 × 109/L) and overall response (platelet count >30 × 109/L) were 50.1% (95% CI 38-62.3) and 74.4% (95% CI 64.9-83.9) respectively. Most studies applied an embolization of at least 60% of the spleen parenchyma. Nearly all the patients suffered from mild adverse events (AEs), 1.3% suffered from serious AEs and one patient died (0.7%). In conclusion, SE resulted in an overall response rate in 74.4% of patients with ITP. However, this finding derives from uncontrolled studies of low to moderate quality.
