Splenic artery steal syndrome in patients with orthotopic liver transplant: Where to embolize the splenic artery?

We conclude that long-term outcomes after embolization of the SA in the scenario of SAS after OLT are irrespective of the site of embolization of the SA, whereas a proximal embolization potentially facilitates earlier normalization of liver function. Choice of technique should therefore be informed by anatomical conditions, safety considerations and preferences of the interventionalist.
